have enough power in many muncipal governments and in the Bundesrat (federal council) to block everything from moving forward.

Nah it doesn't work that way, they'd need a majority both in the council and parliament and be in government to block things as any of the three can initiate proceedings on their own. Municipalities don't get a say at all.

I meant they can block the passing of laws. They can kill civil society actors by denying funds on the muncipal level, like organizations against hate crime or artists, museums and other institutions that are critical of fascist politics. They can stack muncipal administrations, police, and state executive branches with their own people.

If they gain power in the states, they can block some federal legislation, fuck up state legislation and of course they will always blame it on the federal politics.

If they gain power in the muncipalities, they can effectively block the implementation of federal and state legislation and create fascist control on the local level.

Also as education is handled on state level, they can rearrange the teaching of history, ethics, religion and other subjects, to follow their ideology.

Even if a banning procedure is initiated then, it is much more difficult to get rid of them and repair the damage they have done by then, than if the government would act now.
