The Anti-AfD Protesters: Masters of Self-Destruction – They Shout Against Division and Cement It, While Government Policies Are Ruining Them and the Country


Tens of thousands march through German cities, waving signs against “fascism” and “Nazis,” calling for democracy and against the division of society.



The occasion: the historic AfD victory in Saxony-Anhalt, with 43.8 percent of the vote. The CDU plummeted to 17.2 percent, while the SPD, Greens and Left each languished below 10 percent, and the BSW narrowly cleared 5.3 percent. Voter turnout stood at around 77.8 percent – about 22 percent of eligible voters stayed home. A clear majority of those who voted, along with a significant share of non-voters, are signaling that the policies pursued so far have run their course. Yet instead of pausing for reflection, the “democrats” take to the streets – against those who want change. And in doing so, they ignore the daily news about corporate bankruptcies, the VW crisis and record-high fuel prices. This is not a defense of democracy. This is collective denial of reality combined with firewall fanaticism.

Mass Protests Against the Voters’ Will – and Against Their Own Future

After September 6, 2026, demonstrators took to the streets in Berlin (police: around 5,000; organizers: up to 14,000 at the Brandenburg Gate), Hamburg, Munich and dozens of other cities. Organized by Campact, Fridays for Future and similar groups, the slogans included “AfD + BSW Democracy, Goodbye,” “Fascism Is Not an Alternative” and “Everyone Together Against Fascism.” Some explicitly shouted against division – while at the same time calling for the continued exclusion of the strongest party.


The turnout remained below that of previous mass demonstrations, but the message was clear: The voters made the wrong choice. Ulrich Siegmund and the AfD offered talks and extended a hand – the firewall faction rejected it. That is precisely what creates division: A party with almost 44 percent of the vote is treated as untouchable, while the established parties haggle among themselves over minority arrangements and “protecting democracy.”

The Politicians’ Reactions: Shock, Self-Pity and Clinging to the Firewall

Friedrich Merz (CDU) described it as the “heaviest election defeat” and said he was “deeply shocked.” Sven Schulze (the incumbent CDU Minister-President) called the result devastating and congratulated the AfD, but nevertheless maintained his rejection of cooperation. Other parties warned against an AfD government, called for bans or at least strict isolation. Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) criticized the firewall as having failed and being undemocratic; Markus Söder (CSU) likewise declared the concept a failure, without expressing any willingness to form a coalition. The majority of established politicians remained on the old course: No cooperation – ideological purity is preferable to a pragmatic majority.

That is the psychological punchline: They demonstrate and politicize against division by institutionalizing it. The AfD presents itself as willing to talk – the “tolerant” ones want to build the wall even higher.

While the Demo Hecklers Rail Against Blue, the Economy Is Burning

Every day brings new insolvency reports. In the first half of 2026, corporate insolvencies rose by 6.7 percent to 12,812 cases – the highest level since 2013. Particularly affected: transport, hospitality and construction. According to experts, the reasons include high energy and labor costs, bureaucracy and weak domestic demand.

Volkswagen is in the deepest crisis in its history: Another 50,000 jobs are to be cut worldwide (in addition to previous plans, bringing the total toward 100,000), while four German plants (Emden, Zwickau, Hanover and Neckarsulm) are effectively on the line or are slated to be phased out. The group is struggling with stagnant sales, problems in China and the costs of transformation.

Petrol and diesel are climbing to new heights: average prices of around €2.30–€2.50 per liter and more, with some regions significantly higher, close to all-time highs. Driven by geopolitical tensions, taxes and energy policy. Governments in other countries are cutting fuel taxes; the German government is not considering doing so. The proverbial German Michel patiently puts up with it as his money is taken out of his pocket.

Yet at the anti-AfD demonstrations? Hardly a word about any of this. The economic misery is often accepted as a necessary evil of the “climate transition” or “transformation” – or simply not addressed at all. The demonstrators are not protesting against the policies that are weighing on their jobs, heating bills and fuel bills. They are protesting against the party that attacks those policies.

Psychological Analysis: They Are Demonstrating Against Themselves

This is where the core of the pathology lies. Many of these demonstrators feel the effects of government policy in their own lives – higher prices, uncertainty, deindustrialization. Instead of fighting the causes (energy policy, bureaucracy, the consequences of migration, misguided economic incentives), they project all their frustration onto the AfD. The party becomes a scapegoat, an external enemy that conceals their own inability and their own dependence on narratives (the firewall as a promise of salvation).

This is classic cognitive dissonance and self-sabotage: They do not want division, yet demand the permanent exclusion of a large group of voters. They want democracy, but accept the will of the voters only when it conforms to their own moral standards. They suffer under the policies they defend and fight those who want to bring about change. The AfD extends a hand and talks – the “open-minded and tolerant” build walls and shout “Nazi.”

Result: Society Is Becoming Even More Divided!

The majority that no longer wants these policies (AfD voters plus non-voters plus dissatisfied voters from other camps) is being morally delegitimized. The demonstrators are not protecting democracy – they are protecting a failed establishment while sacrificing their own economic future in the process. Welcome to the pure doctrine of self-destruction: Demonstrating against the AfD means demonstrating against the chance for a course correction – and thus against themselves. The firewall stands. The country is crumbling.
