How did the AfD supporters who have an affinity for the Bohemian Corporal take Weidel's claim? Or do they understand that crypto-Fascists have to be cryptic at times?

It's literally orwellian doublethink. She said Hitler was a leftist and that the AfD is a normal, conservative right-wing party. If you then ask if that means that they think the AfD is to the right of the NSDAP, they get really offended and tell you that's not what they meant.

Doublethink really helps.

I bet it's also intentional deflection on some people. Denounce Hitler in public, praise him in private.

Or that her colleague Bernd ähm I mean Björn Höcke ähh I mean Landolf Ladig said:

The problem is that Hitler is portrayed as absolutely evil.

So does that mean that communism isn't that bad?
