    Since not everyone is expected to become member of a political party, a more apt comparison would be to membership numbers (and changes in those) for other German parties.

        Thanks for the link. Some big parties seem to have hundreds of thousands of members. Didn’t see much for 2024 other than:

        Zu Beginn des Jahres 2024 meldeten mehrere Parteien einen starken Mitgliederzuwachs. Bündnis 90/Die Grünen berichteten von 8.000 Neumitgliedern in den ersten beiden Monaten des Jahres.

        In any case, considering the political context of our times, AfD’s growth is nothing to scoff at.
