Young voters are powering the rise of Germany’s far-right AfD party | CNN

Destroy the education and the cattle comes out to the pasture

This is misleading and not supported by polls.
It is true that there has been a shift in traditionally more left leaning young voters towards the AfD, but that just means than they don't poll worse anymore that they do in the general public accross all age groups.
-
Not only that, the cattle will even elect their own butcher.

This is the exit polling result of the 2024 state election in Saxony, where the AfD came in a close second to the CDU. (31,9 % CDU, 30,6% AfD)
It is pretty even with a slope towards older people until the group 70+ where there is a much lower result.

Also this is Saxony, a far right castle.
There are 15 other states. A little hasty to use this as interpolation for whole country.But sad truth to be told, the AfD engages younger folks on social media quite effectively.

Well, there was a "what if election" for under 18s and it was pretty left:

There is nothing in this story that reflects the headline. It's pure guesswork.

The title is missing context in eastern Germany the AfD won the U18 elections, but these are also the states where they are lead8ng. In west Germany the SPD (self proclaimed social democrats that have 0 backbone and that dont really do anything) and the leftist party were leading.
