Well, Germany isn’t that far along. It will vote for a conservative party first, which will do nothing to change the crumbling economy and infrastructure but will further cut social services, all this while normalizing far right talking points by trying to court the voters on the right fringe (who only ever vote for the original), while ignoring or even demonizing any position even slightly left. This will lay the groundwork for the fascists to take over after the next election. And once more conservatives will have helped fascists destroy democracy.
As someone living in Germany, I am so pissed at everyone for being pissed about the current government. It is a coalition of three parties that inherited a country that was led by one person for 16 years, post pandemic, and was hit with two huge wars that they are inevitably involved in. Cut them some slack, maybe? I honestly feel like I am the only one thinking they did quite OK. Give them some time (and fire Lindner) at least. But no, let’s be mad that they didn’t solve recession, climate change, didn’t establish world peace and got the country out of its stillstand of one and a half decades within three years.
I completely agree. They were constantly hamstrung by Lindner and his insistence on not taking new debt and still accomplished more in four years then Merkel in 16.
