Tbf afd didn't win a plurality, they will almost certainly not be in government.
Its likely CDU + SPD
afd got about 20%
Its concerning tho, since NSDAP got 18.3% in 1930, and just 2 years later, they became the biggest party and won a plurality of seats in 1932 and a year later win 43.9% of the seats with hitler becoming chancellor
The 1933 elections were unfree, and within the two election 1932 they dropped from 37.4 to 33.1. Still not enough votes to pass the enabling act so they arrested SPD+KPD politicians and then used a simple majority to change the quorum rules such that the absent votes would not count against them.
It's fascinating how much legal theatre they did to give a legalistic paint job to their power grab. Completely different to Trump, more like corporate lawyers.
