Sounds more like you never dealt with them. I'm German, we still got plenty of ideologically challenged individuals in country, and they are not stupid.
No idea what a glowie is, but those trump worshiping clowns you got in the US aren't the people I'm worried about. Over here there is no discernible education gap between left and right wing.
Glowie is online slang for stassi types... Jan6 strung together abunch of mouth breezers for the Insurrection. There clowns were organized and support by the federal agents.
Similar thing happened with "BLM" protests although those might have been taken over after they blew up.
Current working theory of these events is that glowies play a key role in such events.

I’m Jewish and have had my living room windows shot at because my parents had a chanukkah menorah in the window and I had to hide my identity from everyone out of risk that they will be violent or treat me badly if they found out the religion I was born into.
I’m very well versed with Nazis, white supremacists, and what other forms they come in North America. This isn’t a dick measuring contest.
