I’ve heard this several times… what specifically did Vance do that seemed to shake Afd support?
I'm not actually convinced it was Vance specifically. Their support seemed to grow a bit after the US election gave their movement a bit more legitimacy, but then started back the other way when people saw what it means in action. Vance's visit was timed at roughly the peak, but, snark aside, it's probably more correlation than causation.
The actions of the Trump administration as a whole are a more plausible cause of any slight erosion of support.
What's happening in the American Reich is inspiring a very strong sense of European patriotism like I've never seen before among common people around me.

It is very sad. But I think Europe is really going to have to unify even more as America turns somehow to both isolationism and imperialism.
He's also pretty unlikable.
with his many gaffes in june and july, with his fake" paraphelias with dolphins and couches", and then theres the issue of him wearing eyeliner, and crossdress and associating with THIEL, MSM is complicit in trying to bury the last parts, and then theres the issue he may not be entirely straight much like how MSM dont report on lindseys identity.
