I was trying to learn more about Merz. Seems like he flip-flops between ideals quite a bit. Apparently staunchly anti Russian and hates AfD, but he may change his mind if the wind blows in a different direction.
He doesn’t so much hate AfD as he hates that their existence makes it harder to focus on cutting regulation and giving tax cuts to the rich because they take some of the bigoted traditional voter base away from his party.
Imagine a conservative lobbyist from the early 90s stepping into a time machine and traveling to present day. That’s Merz. His foreign policies are not terrible but he’s trying to undo 30 years of progress at home.
The first half of this video was his first political Advertisement, you don’t even need to understand what he says to get the point. https://youtu.be/XxuJekayt0M

He didn’t even need to take a time machine, he’s just coming from a very backward region.

Honestly rather informative
