The last two AfD supporters with whom I spoke didn't seem to be aware of all this (granted, I wasn't, excellent post there). They also prefer to believe that not all of AfD is that bad and focus on the people who they like.

If you're asking about non-AfD supporters ... just note that roughly half of Germany votes CDU or AfD. Many actually like the rightwing extremists for one "reason" or another. Because, not despite.
