      The rules allowing bans exist specifically for cases like these, to prevent fascists from manipulating their way to power and dismantling democracy. If a party doesnt play by the rules of democracy, it does not have the right to be democratically elected. Nothing strange about that.

      The paradox of democracy is at play here. We cannot tolerate an intolerant party without sacrificing our tolerance to others.

      In other words, the only rule we have is to tolerate others. A party like AFD is intolerant to others, therefore it cannot be allowed to exist.

      Fascists don’t deserve a seat at Democracies table when they would destroy Democracy if they win.

      It’s really that simple, cupcake.
