A 20% of 84% eligible voters, or about 17% eligible voters, or about 15% of the population.

This is not reassuring.

15% of a population being Nazis is not reassuring in any country. But in Germany, the home of Nazism, that was utterly destroyed by Nazism, it's even scarier.

It gets more interesting with a map of the votes:

East Germany, vs. West Germany.

It's been somewhat of a theme in countries that endured USSR influence, to run a "commie scare" and fall straight into the arms of a neo-lib alt-right.
