If you have mildly conservative views in Germany, you vote CDU or FDP. You don't vote AfD.

It is not "mildly conservative" to call for deportation of citizens with middle-eastern roots, removing disabled children from normal schools and glorifying Hitler while taking money from Russia

Ahh, old good mild conservatism.
