In Germany's election on Sunday, the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is predicted to win 13.5% of the vote, the largest percentage since the Nazis rose to power in 1933.

Germans reacted with shock and devastation at the news.
So more than one eighth of my fellow Germans are Nazis. Sobering, to say the least. #BTW17
In case you were wondering: no, there is no German word to adequately express my horror at these election results. #BTW17
There is a 13,5% chance I'll drink myself to sleep in hope to wake up and realizing I just had a nightmare. Devastated. #BTW17
I am ashamed and shocked. #BTW17 In my heart there is no place for racism.
People were horrified that such a large percentage of Germans could "vote for open racism."
Holy shit. How can we have so many ignorant stupid people in the country? How can you vote for open racism? #btw17

Many saw it as a massive step back for Germany.
Y'all living in 2017 while Germany's living in 1933. #BTW17
germans just took the biggest step back ever, how did we not learn from our past #BTW17
people who voted for afd got obviously no clue what happened 85 years ago when people voted for an extremist #btw17
Germany: we learned from our history and never want it to happen again also Germany: votes AfD 🙄 #btw17
Though some were not entirely surprised...
AfD prognose 13% ?? #BTW17
...especially considering how Trump won.
Remember when we were making fun of Americans for being so stupid.... Yeah.... #BTW17
UK: We're dumb. US: We're dumber. GER: Wait, hold my Bier. #BTW17 #BTW2017 #istschonwieder1930? #blueisthenewbrown
