Hello, dear neighbours without functioning rail infrastructure, a doofer Ösi here has a few questions... <3
As far as I can tell, Merz is the most unpopular chancellor the Federal Republic has ever had, for a many reasons. Off the top of my head, I can think of “upper-middle class,” “is it really necessary to be sick for three weeks?,” “privately insured since birth,” “nobody wanted to stay in Belem,” and “it can’t depend on their parents -- DOCH!” He brought up clichés of homosexuality again in a certain disgusting way and voted against marital r\*pe to be classified as a crime. The “Mehrzweckeier” reactions from you people are probably well-known throughout Europe, too.
None of this is new, and his character, as well as his contempt for the working class, women especially and the younger generation, were already well known before the election… Now I honestly ask myself: Who votes for him? I’m not saying that everything is better in Austria, quite the opposite, we’re one step ahead of you with the rising fascism, but with Kickl or Weidel, the pattern of voter appeal is clearer. People find “reasons” to vote for far-right candidates, but I can’t think of a single good reason - no matter how long I think about it - for anyone who isn’t a millionaire, or for any woman regardless of her financial status, to vote for a person like Merz.
Is it really just, “We’ve always voted for the C\*U, so we’ll keep doing that,” from a certain age group, or the Bavarian “mia san mia”?
So, dear Germans, can you shed some light on my little Alpine brain, which apparently doesn’t understand the wisdom of the Germanic voting people? And more importantly: how are you going to get rid of him without ending up with a non-queer Swiss woman?
