My point is that size of vote doesn’t track with political or social environment, that ratio does. If it was just size of a population you’d have to conclude that the US is much more Irish than Ireland.

But this gets used to make the AfD into a product of the east the same way people ignore blue voters in flyover country and republicans in democratic voting states. It looks like a stark division of east and west which is more a matter of degree

In the same way clearly the US south is clearly more Republican, to say that it is just a Southern party because it gets blowout elections obscures it’s popularity where it loses at the state level and is also an outgrowth of they political culture
