Uhm, no? They were never expected to win an easy majority. Which, by the way, they didn‘t in the end.

Easy majority ≠ super majority

That's not how you use these terms in English usually:
A majority is more than half of a total, while a super majority is the amount of votes needed above a simply majority (usually things like 2/3 to do constitutional changes...).

Yeah, what they won is a plurality

Shocking. Within our lifetime Germany could have a national government again which facilitates the commission of genocide. Like the current one and the last one.
