    AfD in Saxony-Anhalt

    Yes, I’ve heard of that. I’ve also heard that they vary much in, eh, ideological climate in different states. So - it may be just a result of them being a populist party.

    I would provide a source, but it’s in German

    That’d be fine, I can’t write and speak in German, but a wee bit better at understanding texts.

    They speak like Nazis,

    Not really, I’ve actually took a lot of interest in how Nazis really spoke when I was 15 years old. It was a weird time in my life, so wanted to know more closely things surely known to be evil and good to recognize evil and good in my surroundings.

    (Thinking of Klemperer’s book.)

    “Antisemitic and xenophobic” statements are not limited to Nazis, while some specifically Nazi traits of speech I can see being more popular, but really not limited to AfD and the likes. Even here one can encounter such.

    they act like Nazis.

    I don’t think they’ve started killing their opponents on the streets yet, or forming paramilitary groups.

    doesn’t mean they are harmless or that calling them out for what they are would “water down the term ‘Nazi’”

    You may be right, but parties and entities more similar to Nazis in other parts of the world usually were pretty open about their intentions from the very beginning, while AfD doesn’t send the same signals.
