Other than being to the right of center, what was wrong with Merkel?

Nearly all her politics about Russia and her inability to admit she had been wrong after it all blew up.

Also, weird energetics policies that neither assured energetic independence nor seriously adressed the CO2 problem but contained plenty of virtue-signalling instead.


That is certainly a mark or two against her.

That's the nature of wingnut totalitarian political ideology. They could care less what the rest of us want or believe, seeing us as wrong and deluded, and needing said wingnuts to lead us to the light... or a concentration camp.


I think you have missed the point.
Without the support of the ppl, they were never going to succeed.

Besides, now Merkle the Turtle is out of government, there is no real need for drastic action.
The new German government seems to have intelligence and practicality interwoven with their policies if I understand the situation correctly. 8)

The Turtle...
The damage she did... :roll:


Other than being to the right of center, what was wrong with Merkel?


-Unfettered immigration that allowed rape gangs to enter Germany...
-Economic policy disasters involving the closing down of reliable energy sources (some of which have been reopened now) and giving pootin a greater war chest thru fossil fuel exportation.
-Her policies directly fuelled the increase in right-wing nationalism.
What a goose. :roll:

The illogical nonsense was breathtaking. 8O
Rather than using the country's resources for power needs, they imported the stuff, which negated the intent to lower climate-unfriendly gases and, in addition, allowed a Russian tyrant greater economic power.
She is an extraordinaire virtue-signaller.
What a prized goose. :roll:

Her government's policies embraced some left-wing ideology, as I have indicated.
We have the same problem over here, where some conservative ideas are even more left-wing than the Labor Party in Australia.

immigration....it's predictable why right wingers hate Merkel


Germans don't like rape gang importation and lost employment opportunities for some reason.
Go figure. :?

Germany had too much dependence upon Russian oil. Enough dependence so that it could possibly soften its stance against Russian aggression.

It wasn't "a mark or two".

"Read my lips": Merkel was an absolute disaster for German society/economy.
She was the queen of virtue-signalling.
No wonder some right-wing fools were encouraged into stupidity that was never going to succeed. :roll:

It worked for a short period, but Germany eventually came to its senses.
Maybe because Merkel was no longer in government? :scratch:

But Merkel still had a wonderful singing voice.
