but if they start drawing a distinction, there are bigger problems.
Well, the AfD definitely does. And Switzerland might also at some point, since decisions like that are always just one poll away there.

It’s not as much of a contradiction as you would think. It used to be less ultra right with a bourgeois wing that was well educated.
The emphasis here is on “used to”. It would not have been as much of a contratiction ten years ago, but the times of the retired economy professors are gone. And Weidel herself is a creature of the contemporary ultra-right AfD, so the contradiction is as strong as it seems.


Wouldn’t help that much since her partner is a non-white immigrant.


Weidel’s a lesbian who doesn’t live in Germany and has a non-white immigrant partner. So she pretty much represents the opposite of what her party stands for or wants to stand for.
Well, that’s your run-off-the-mill TERF there.
