You just don't understand how American politics functions. Is Kanye West a genius?

mate, you should understand that there are different inteligences
you can have street smarts, math smarts, political smarts, etc
you don't need to be a genius to be smart, you just need to be intelligent enough, focused and use your intelligence the way it serves your purpose
and that is what Trump does

Go back to page 1 on this thread. I will meet you here in a couple of pages to see if your opinion has changed. Do you know who Mary Trump is?

Or you could be just an absolute cnut who can be easily manipulated by the last person you spoke to.

Have you ever heard of George W Bush? Trump's election was very circumstential against terribly weak candidates (both from the dems or the GOP). Elections in the US are for the most part a popularity contest, and Trumps charisma (at least for right wing voters) with the message he had at this very specific time of distrust (MAGA, USA is wonderful, we're the best and all this sh*t), backed with a lot of money, good data analysis and a very large audience and media exposure was all it took.

If that's not an indicator you're not paying attention to German politics. Merkel has been on the decline for years, otherwise she wouldn't find herself trapped in a big coalition with SPD right now.

It isn't right now. Merkel's popularity has been waning since forever, but now she's enjoying the COVID-19 bonus that pretty much every leading politicians across the world got (except people like Trump and Bolsenaro). That doesn't really matter on the state level though, so there is a disconnect between those two right now.

And most Republicans hated his fecking guts until it was clear he would be the nominee. Then he was there useful idiot. Ryan, McCarthy and Scalise are on tape saying he was on Putin's payroll, guess which one ran after his tax cuts were signed.

I guess we'll know for sure in a year. Election time.

Nope. As I said, COVID-19 hides what the usual popularity would be like. It'll be completely difference once COVID-19 worries subside. Also, Merkel isn't on the ballot next year.

And I'm absolutely pumped to hear your definition of Reichsbürger.

Yeah, didn't think so.

1st page of a Google search helps. They seem like dicks over here fawning over the Confederacy. What's your definition? Or more importantly, where did you get your definition?

Calm down with the patronising.

I don't know about full Reichsbürger (link for those interested), but if you write this and present it as if it were a common concern:

Then there's the unanswered question of German sovereignty. The country is still an occupied area and has been since WW1 - there never was a peace treaty, a prerequisite to regaining sovereignty. Germans don't even have a proper constitution, just a much weaker law book ("Grundgesetz").

Then you put yourself in the unfortunate and pretty exclusive company of Reichsbürger - and raise enormous question marks about any other opinions you might have.

What's wrong with wanting a peace treaty with the allied forces and full sovereignty for Germany? We need to finally close the dark chapter of two world wars. I wasn't talking about reclaiming old territory, reinstating the emperor or reintroducing National Socialism (which came much later than the period of loss of independence, hence all the Nazi comments simply don't add up).

What territory would you claim? We call them countries now, not territories or empires.
 
How the hell did this become the Germany thread? Now derailing a thread to post 90's rap videos I can get behind (and mayhave/may have not instigated), but this is stupid.
