    FYI, it’s Merz, not März.

    I disagree with that. Specifically for immigration, a Democrats-led USA is much more immigration-friendly (at least in places where MAGAs are not the majority) than Germany (and probably many if not most other EU-countries) ever was, both in terms of policy and in terms of how welcoming the population is.

      I’ve lived in both Germany and the USA (very blue state) and strongly disagree with this. It’s incredibly easy and cheap to immigrate to Germany and you get the same rights as any European, in the USA you have to jump through a million hoops and constantly fight for the right to stay, you can get ejected so easily

      Ah you may be right vis-a-vis immigration. Germany is not the most inviting place…

      And I knew I shouldn’t have trusted my autocorrect on März! Goddamn you Google keyboard shakes fist at sky

        German people are just generally not very open to talking to strangers in general, so making friends with them takes a while. But there are so many expats here that you can easily make friends with instead so it’s not bad really
