While Turkish immigrants in the Marxloh neighborhood of Duisburg had until now mostly voted for the Social Democratic party (SPD, center-left), they have gradually been drawn to the anti-immigration and conservative rhetoric of the far right.
Every time I hear something about AfD or one of the other far-right morons I play a game in my head: where did they steal this one from? Which part of MAGA is reflected here? In this case: the Latin Vote. They see how the apparent contradiction can simply be ignored and the same rhetoric applied.
BTW, my mom is an immigrant in Germany herself (not Turkish though) and happily repeating all of AfD’s anti-immigration talking points.
