"Tolerance" for overboard acts of protégés of the far left, and refusal to treat them equally as every other citizen, has drawn disproportional attention, and has fed rage on the part of the far right, which they have predictably blown out of proportion with the time-tested "they're coming to get you, so you need us to protect you from them." It never fails. The AfD in Germany thanks its lucky stars every day for it.
