This was such a dumb move from Merz. He would have easily been voted in as chancellor, if he had done nothing. Instead, he initiates these racist policies, collabs with Nazis to try to make them happen and then even blames the other parties for ‘forcing’ him to work with the Nazis, because they wouldn’t agree on his racist policies.
Now there’s massive protests throughout the country and while it’s still too soon to tell, I also imagine that his party’s ratings will plummet.
Who do you think the CDU voters are likely to move to? The SPD is just as unpopular right?
I don’t think they will plummet. While he’s doing obvious nazi shit, the actual nazi party is assumed to be right behind him in terms of projected votes.
These protests are great, but they are by no means big enough, I fear.
