Merz backs not flying rainbow flag on German parliament during Pride | dpa international

true on all accounts, didn't even think this far but yeah, he has always had these kind of world views

Depends on the topic. Economic and foreign policy sure, and he most likely got pointers on how to actually put his views into action, but the guy voted in favor of letting husbands rape their wives in 1997. Telling him to hate on LGBT+ is like kicking in an open door.

and don't you think what he thinks was shaped by his self-proclaimed 170+ visits to the US to meet with industry giants and politians to further his own political agenda?

Hey now, that guy is perfectly capable of being a reactionary piece of shit on his own! This kind of thing is entirely in line with what he already thinks.

The same way the Israeli flag the CDU Bürgermeister put in front of the Rotes Rathaus does.

i dont know how changing flags every day helps victims of concentration camps.

Wasn't supporting the victims of Nazi concentration camps a reason of state?

Of course the CEO of BlackRock Germany is going to do and love whatever Daddy Donald tells him to. We sold our country.
