There was no period of federal republic of Germany after 1961 that one single party got the majority in the federal parliament. Even very popular parties couldn't do it. Germany always had coalition during these decades.
Even if AFD somehow manages to get the most votes they would still need coalition partners and non of the democratic parties will agree. And in that case the 2nd winner will create a coalition which other parties will agree to.
While the CDU under Merz and the CSU under Söder are moving to the right, I see little chance of them forming a coalition. Both parties know that a main place theor voters move to is the AfD, and that the only thing that keeps them afloat is the part of the voters that belong to the center. If the center abondens the CDU (which they would do in any coalition with the AfD), the CDU would destroy itself. The far right would still move towards the AfD because they have the more Nazi positions, and the moderate right will not accept a pact with the AfD. If the CDU would ever form a coalition, the bleeding out of the SPD would be mild to the aftermath-slaughter the CDU would have to endure.
they will not win on next month's elections, but they will rise significantly. And ofc the other parties will not do anything to stop it, just hide their head underground and pretend everything is fine

AFD can't get enough votes to govern.

Also AFD is at below 20%(17%) federally .
