We do have to keep in mind that they are the most popular party still. So "new reality" my foot, it works for them, so that's what they'll continue to do.
He's a rich sociopath with a penchant for telling lies and a hunger for power. Of course he has a good personal relationship with Trump, they are practically soulmates.
Don't they agree on most things? Of course Merz must hate Trump for being loud and sloppy but aren't their politics and policy goals entirely compatible?
No, they don't. For example, Merz doesn't give a fuck about the country, hires his unqualified buddies from the industry into his ministry positions, and thinks domestic abuse is not a crime.
Edit: of course this is ironic. Text based communication is an ass.
Merz is a traitor to his people, of course he's in bed with all the worst people around the globe. Conservatives are a systemic failure that slowly errode society. The CDU must not maintain power and we need to fix wealth inequality before it's too late.
Merz ended austerity policies, took on 500 billion € in new debt, used that to finance tax cuts for the rich and big business, and is now crippling social security and pensions, saying there's not enough money.

Because he's a spineless loser. Most unpopular chancellor in recent history. The CDU hasn't accepted the new reality yet.

Who's Merz? I checked out of German politics since austerity policies and Merkel
trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 137d
He is the much worse guy Merkel prevented from gaining power until she retired.

You might not like it but that's a reasonable thing to do.
