    I thought she was not popular in Germany…

    That’s never a problem. The brain-dead and the senile combine to a massive majority and both are changing their opinion instantly once the right propagandists tell them how to think.

    Also the president isn’t elected by the population. So it’s even cheaper as politicians don’t need to be brain-washed, they can simply be bought.

      Unfortunately, this is not uniquelly a German situation. I find it a miracle we still have (some sort of) a Government at all in our divided countries.

        Sadly I think that you are wrong here. More division and no working government would at least be a sign that there is a healthy chunk with brains left. Instead we get totally idiotic populists in power because propaganda victims are the majority and calling th shots (well, not actually, but they are too stupid to realize how the people they elect are working against them anyway).

          no working government.

          Careful what you wish for. No Government usually leads to utter chaos, and I’m not so optimistic about human nature. And none of the problems you care for would be resolved. Check for extreme examples Haiti, South-Africa, Myanmar etc.
