    I’d be inclined to think that going from 30% to 20% is worse than “not entirely successful” (assuming AfD voters in general are at the very least somewhat sympathetic to fascist views, which really doesn’t seem like an unfair assumption)

      20% is still better than 30%. Less momentum in the movement; more chance of discouraging others from pursuing it.
