Hier ist die Gleichsetzung der politischen Gegner mit der AfD übrigens Parteilinie.
Tweet von CDU/CSU:
„Die Radikalen rechts und links rüsten rhetorisch immer weiter auf. Der Parteitag der #Linken hat einmal mehr gezeigt, dass diese Partei mit einer freiheitlichen #Demokratie nichts zu tun hat. Sie mögen ihren #Radikalismus popkulturell verpacken, mit lustigen TikToks und in Double Speed vorgetragenen Insta-Posts. Aber es bleibt geschichtsvergessener Radikalismus und eine Gefahr für unsere Demokratie und wir werden uns den Radikalen und #Extremen von rechts und von links entgegenstellen.“ @jensspahn

🚨 New article out! “Right-Wing Terror, Media Backlash, and Voting Preferences for the Far Right” in @bjpols.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1017/S000... We (Alex De Juan, @juvoss.bsky.social & I) examine how right-wing attacks shape support for the far-right in Germany. Short summary thread below 👇
Abstract for the article: How does right-wing terrorism affect electoral support for populist radical right parties (PRRPs)? Recent research has produced contrary answers to this question. We argue that only high-intensity attacks, whose motives and targets mirror PRRPs’ nativist agenda, are likely to generate a media backlash that dampens electoral support for PRRPs. We test this argument by combining high-frequency survey and social media data with a natural and survey experimental design. We find that right-wing terror reduced support for the radical right party Alternative für Deutschland after one of the most intense nativist attacks in recent German history. An analysis of all ninety-eight fatal right-wing attacks in Germany between 1990 and 2020 supports our argument. Our findings contribute to an understanding of how political violence triggers partisan detachment and have important implications for media responsibility in the aftermath of terrorist attacks.
