Der Bundestag eigne sich für eine Wende nur bedingt, denn er sei zur Hälfte mit Lehrern besetzt. "Lehrer denken doch ganz anders als Unternehmer", so Bohlen, der sich eines Studiums der Betriebswissenschaften mit Prädikatsexamen rühmt. "Im Bundestag sollten mehr Wirtschaftslenker sitzen, Leute mit Visionen."

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Now that's unfair. Hitler was an artist before going into politics, Trump is a scam artist. That's not quite the same.

Edit:

Also hopefully the American democracy is more robust than our early try and they won't end up electing a literal fascist clown to become president of the USA.

Just woke up. For years I've tackled with the question that a lot of immigrants probably face: do I seek new citizenship and thereby lose my previous one? I'm not an especially patriotic person to begin with, but the thought of having to give up my US passport if I take on German citizenship has always been really difficult for me, and before I always said I don't think I could bring myself to do it.

Now I'm counting down the days to next August when I'm finally eligible to apply for Einbürgerung.

I think Clinton still has a chance to win? Has the election already been called?

And if I recall correctly, an FPÖ victory was always more likely than not, according to the latest polls.

Everything is hosed. At least Merkel is okay-ish. And compared to Trump and the like, she's great.

But what did he mean by that?

In der Kindergartengruppe meiner kleinen Schwester ist seit ein paar Wochen ein syrisches Mädchen. Gestern hatten sie im Kindergarten eine Andacht oder so, wo eine Kerze von Kind zu Kind weitergegeben wurde. Die kleine Syrerin hat sich geweigert die Kerze auch nur anzufassen, laut meiner Schwester “weil sie aus einem anderen Land kommt wo es gebrannt hat und wo Krieg war“

Der wahrscheinlich nächste Präsident des mächtigsten Lands der Welt hat angekündigt, keine Muslime mehr ins Land zu lassen. In den USA und auch hier in Deutschland wird es für Kinder wie die kleine Rohada immer weniger Verständnis geben. Sie flüchten vor Krieg und Zerstörung und ernten blanken Hass.

It was already doubtful that the EU would agree to it, but it's very likely dead under a Trump presidency. Or not, perhaps he really is fully in league with the business class and all those tirades against free trade were just lies. Who knows?

Well, gently caress. I remember my terror in 1990 when the Gulf War started and little me thought that would mean war everywhere like in the world wars I had been reading about in frankenkid's first illustrated history book.

The last time a Republican president was elected he managed to start two pointless wars which killed hundreds of thousands of people, amongst them thousands of American and Allied soldiers, which cost well over a trillion dollars, which managed to effect nothing but to piss off literally everyone and which turned the Middle East into a black hole of violence and chaos that will take decades to unfuck itself, indirectly also being responsible for Putin to be able to restart the Cold War, not to mention all the fun stuff that his administration managed to do domestically!

Stoked to see whether a Trump admin will be able to top this. Hail Satan

You're in Darmstadt right? There are still a few overground bomb shelters around.
