    • Fear mongering is making people worried.
    • You are against this report for doing this to leftists, hence you are against making leftist people worried.

      You can be against news fearmongering a certain group and also believe the fear this group has is valid. In this case, the leftist could for example be already worried by the actual situation and not because of the fearmongering.

      No for fucks sake. Fearmongering is the irrational exaggeration of a worrisome situation to a degree that incites fear (hence the term fearmongering) and panic.

        So what irrational fears are promoted about the AdF getting into power and achieving greater public support?

        Or is it irrational to think the most popular party in Germany could ever win?

        Very confusing, I’m so stupid after all.
