How about Merz claiming he “understands” Trump’s only-two-genders exective order, then? Is that paranoia too or are there reasonable explanations for that? I don’t see Merz become a champion of civil liberties anytime soon.
That is not an issue. Most recently, Söder basically told churches to stop supporting the “wrong” causes if they still want state money. Julia Klöckner left a church board, because it wasn’t right-wing enough for her anymore.
I also understand it. I don’t support it, in fact I oppose it, but I do understand it. If there’s one thing that’s sure right now is that Merz, a lifelong, staunch, Atlanticist, feels betrayed by America and Trump is on the top of his shitlist.
Yeah but by that measure we have to declare the whole of the SPD fascist. Even worse, thinking about nothing but civil liberties you suddenly start to respect the FDP so I’d advise against that, always keep all the struggles in mind or they trick you.
Look I’m not trying to argue that Merz is a paragon of virtue. What I’m arguing is that
a) a lot of things are way more important to him than the things you are worried about and
b) there’s checks on his behaviour, from inside the conservative population. They know who did and who did not murder Lübcke, who agitated against him (among others, Steinbach) which is why right now nobody, literally nobody, is backing Merz as Lübcke’s widow is ripping into him for his “where was Antifa” comment: The Antifa was there, it was Merz and the other paleoconservative CDU people who weren’t. This idea that he can do what he wants is falling for the conservative’s apparent unity while in reality it’s a cesspit of backroom deals and backstabbing.
