I'm not sure how German politics works, will there be a runoff?
There is no "runoff"
This is a Parliamentary system
AfD will be left out of the coalition government

Simplified explanation of Parliamentary systems
People vote for a party, not a person (there are technicalities I'm ignoring for this simplified explanation).
This system, unlike our single member district system, allows a wider range of parties to get support in the election.
There is almost never a party that gets 50% of the vote.
Various parties align to form coalitions of over 50% of the vote.
So AfD can do well, and they will be left out of the government.
Same thing happens every time with LePen's party in France.

ironically, AfD has been anti-US, instead wanting to align with Russia. But that was previously. Will be interesting to see how things fall.
Yup, all parties are ANTI US at the moment.

Yea far right is basically they aren’t a commie bastard so they are now far right.
Which is ironic since AFD is strongest in areas that used to be communist.
