Another sorry consequence of demonising political opponents as "nazis" is you end up with self-congratulatory liberal people supporting the it's ok to punch a nazi philosophy. In the real world, AfD pensioners get severely beaten unconscious by antifa louts, but that's ok because he's a 'nazi'.

Dexit, and AfD, are gaining in support among normal folk.

...it's almost as if the media have an agenda.

As we know from the Trump & Brexit elections, demonising one's political opponent by calling them bad names strengthens their support. That BBC article is 2 years old. Since then AfD's support has significantly increased (hence Dexit is now a feasible idea).

Das Volk want learned debate about the issues. They want specifics. Deflecting by name-calling isn't working, clearly.

No, they're literal Nazis mate.
 
About that AfD...
  • According to its interim electoral manifesto, the party is against same-sex marriage and favours civil unions. The party is also against adoption for same-sex couples.
  • The party has a platform of climate change scepticism.
  • Björn Höcke, one of the founders of AfD, gave a speech in Dresden in January 2017, in which, referring to the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, he stated that "we Germans are the only people in the world who have planted a memorial of shame in the heart of their capital" and suggested that Germans "need to make a 180 degree change in their politics of commemoration."
  • The nationalist Alternative for Germany party (AfD) has been plunged in fresh controversy over similarities between its youth wing’s logo and the insignia of the early Nazi storm troopers who helped propel Hitler to power.
  • German historians have condemned an article written by the leader of the rightwing populist Alternative für Deutschland party for its “striking parallels” to the words of Adolf Hitler.
  • It has become undeniable that the AfD has now adopted large parts of the far-right tradition, including racism and völkisch nationalism (a form of ethnonationalism) as central components within an ideology of inequality, alongside nationalist protectionism and anti-eu economic positions, an emphatic rejection of parliamentarianism and representative democracy, and a long-standing antifeminism and hostility towards gender equality.
