With all due respect, do the Germans have a death wish?

This is worrisome and sad.

Wtf.

Berlin_Freeper. I hope that means you are living in Berlin.

What’s the attitude from everyday normal Germans? Do they want Merkel gone and the muslims gone or what? What’s going on? What’s your opinion?

It’s stated in the article that after an attack people tend to coalesce around the leader. I have no reason to doubt that phenomenon.

She’s directly the cause of the attacks by doubling down again and again with her insane policies.

How can the German people not see that?

I don’t understand, are the Germans still guilty about the Holocaust? So subconsciously they feel they deserve it? Or what? It’s just insane.

Even more unbelievable is how some people insist on ignoring how MSM polls have predicted the opposite of reality for a few years now, and yet...they still believe them.

I don’t think people believe them at all. But they’ll keep pushing them.
