    Tue be completely honest that would be more like the AfD. But Merz recently cried about how the “Brandmauer” to them was forced upon them by the media and he or his party never used the term.
    Which was a lie of course, his then general secretary used it first in like 2021 and shortly after he used it as well. It’s just that it was more popular at the time to deny any plan with working with them. And those fucks sure didn’t get less shitty over time.

    He also said the other day he’d do deals with Trump. Whatever those are supposed to be.

    Edit: Forgot the conclusion: Not quite literally a facist like the shit smelling convict, but not all that much better either.

      Well, certainly not thrilled about the prospect of Merz, then. Hopefully this position ends up shared amongst the other candidates, though.

      He also said the other day he’d do deals with Trump. Whatever those are supposed to be.

      tbf, everyone is saying that, in part because “One of the biggest nations in the world just elected a moron we can’t work with” is considered undiplomatic, whereas “we’ll do deals” gives the illusion of hope and an out if Trump demands something ridiculous (as he inevitably will).
