Merkel controversial LMAO

She's been elected four times with almost constant economic growth and low unemployment rates. Her approval rating rarely ever dips below 50%.


Germans are complete idiots.

Exit polls are suggesting her party received the highest percentage of votes, which means she'll remain as Chancellor of Germany.

That's not how it works.

While it's not a given, I can't imagine a scenario where the CDU received the largest amount of votes and she didn't stay as Chancellor

How dare they re-elect a leader who is popular and runs the country and economy well? Clearly they should have elected someone like Trump instead!

Yeah, I just took issue with the "which means" part because the part before it does not direclty imply the part after.

Fun fact: It actually has happened with the CDU before

Well, I guess it's a good thing your opinion is (obviously) a highly informed one!

I mean, it's not like the people like me, who actually live here, have any idea about how we're all being oppressed by the tyrant Merkel and her refugee-loving ways...

Trollslayer is just taking a page out of Trump's playbook and making strong comments about something which he knows next to nothing about. Sad

You'll be bred out.

Just like the US population will be bred out by Hispanics in 100 years if we don't put a handle on immigration

No. Limiting immigration is racist? Wanting to maintain the infrastructure we enjoy is racist? I have no ill will towards Hispanics I'm just speaking on a demographic fact. I'd prefer if we didn't give Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico back to the Mexicans.

I mean why is it that when someone acts like we ACTUALLY have immigration laws and border policies that that person is racist?

You guys might not know this but we don't have open borders.

That's not a bad thing for Germany. Their post ww2 guilt is spilling into other parts of Europe through EU bullying.

Germany has been responsible for 2 world wars that screwed up Europe and now they're screwing up Europe again by being neo progressive towards anyone non European & regressive at the same time to anyone that's European.

Let it fall I say. It's shining example of how to be progressive is being rejected by most of Europe now.

Somehow having more Mexican American's means that real Americans are being bred out, and Americans is definitely not code for white people.

Having people born in and loyal to the US who have never lived in Mexico somehow means we'd be giving back Texas and California?

But you're not racist?

Well it will cease to be the country it was. That's like saying if Nigeria suddenly became 50% white that it would be the same country.

Also I'm not even white but the infrastructure and culture of our society won't be maintained if we continue importing anyone who wants.

Again, these are simple demographic facts.

I'm intrigued about what happens next.

The CDU and SPD both lost seats, but can still form a majority. That's the easiest way for Merkel to form a majority because the FDP, CDU's partner in Merkel's earlier term, made it back into the Bundestag but they don't have enough seats to form a majority with CDU.

I'm not following it super closely and maybe SPD is fine continuing to work with CDU, but I read an article that said a reason SPD had trouble gaining in the polls and couldn't maintain early momentum was due to the fact it was hard to run against Merkel while being CDU's partner in the last government.

The SPD have said they're going into opposition. Most likely, the CDU, the FDP and the Gruene are going to form a coalition
