The far right groups are seeing a dramatic rise. It's actually a lot more violent over there than what we are being shown.

He's right, and it's not limited to Germany.

I was just there recently in Berlin and Hamburg. In terms of violent crime it is exponentially safer than the US. Aside from anti-Muslim sentiment, there's basically no cause for supporting the Far Right. The economy is strong and most people are content. There is a strong commitment to centrism in Germany. Their entire school curriculum basically focuses on why they should be ashamed to be German due to the Nazi past and how important it is not to support the Far Right. In fact, I'd say they go way too far with these measures, to the point where they are curtailing civil liberties to prevent anyone from admiring the Nazis. Anyone suggesting there will be a Fourth Reich is just totally uninformed about modern Germany or an alarmist. The US is much more supportive of the Far Right than Germany.
