Even more voter movement charts.
Bonus: "Do you think Germany's economic situation is good or bad?"
not even asking about personal economic conditions, just the overall state there's a massive fucking difference in perception.

Massive difference in perception, or actual effects for the voters. Cause they seem to be mainly situated in east Germany.
Might have a lot to do with the relative state of infrastructure and, generally, their surroundings.
That is, you might be personally fine off economically, but you're seeing abandoned buildings all over the place, the trams are run down, and the schools have leaky roofs because the municipality has no money because half of the population moved west and all the infrastructure is oversized.
Meanwhile, the stereotypical Green voter is living in a city driving their Cayenne to the horse pasture enjoying the quaint surroundings. (I mean of course you need an SUV you're towing the horse once every two years)
That's one of the problems of the Greens, they and their voters are largely a relatively wealthy urban bubble who see three trees and think that's nature. That's why a lot of their environmental policy is based on greenwashing shit like CO~2~ certificate trading and subsidies to new electric cars only rich people can afford in the first place.
CO~2~ certificates don't attempt to greenwash, but to artificially give pollution a price. That way companies have a financial incentive to lower their CO~2~ pollution. And at the end of the day money is all companies care about.
The whole system is a joke if there's too many certificates around, though, for whatever reason.
