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

    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.

    Exactly how many children raped would it take for him to distance himself from Trump?

    12? 20?

    What’s his child rape tolerance threshold?

      You are too focused on children here, but not everyone’s taste is the same. Merz is the guy who voted to keep marital rape legal instead…

    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?

    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.

    Who’s Merz? I checked out of German politics since austerity policies and Merkel

      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.
