    0-100 is actually a percentage. These are not absolute numbers, no absolute number is ever being displayed. The only way to approach absolute numbers is by comparing with other queries:

    Kamala and Donald are way more popular than “change my vote”:

    Google Trend comparison 1

    But “AfD” and “change my vote” are similarly popular

    Google Trend comparison 2

    If we consider that most Americans are not interested in German politics, I guess that may tell you something about the trend. Then again, “afd” is a three-letter acronym (TLA) and may mean a lot of things, so the “afd” graph may be inflated.

      At the same time. If you compare the search term with 2020 tends there is no notable difference. As sad as the results were, there is no notable amount of regret or stupidity on “the other side”. people make a big thing or of nothing.
