How happy are you with your goverment?
-
Local (your town / city / state or whatever you call them in your country)
National (the country)
Country: USA, do I really have to say?
State: Texas, double down on above
City: I'm in a pretty privileged position where this level doesn't affect me much.
-
Germany: Merz. My Little Nazi. Lindner and Merz worked together to discredit the Greens and it worked. The AfD keeps winning local elections.
Local is weird. AfD popular even though the area literally depends on French customers for income.
Country is fucked.
You're telling me I'm learning Deutsch for nothing? Although I'll still take it over USA

Oof.. What's the general state of Germany from your side?
Well, one of my colleagues in Munich was just sacked for criticising a scientist. They also put a woman in prison for calling a rapist a disgusting pig.

National (the country)
Federal: Canadian government (Liberal minority) is okay, they try to do awful bullshit but they're also good on social issues and are pushing through high-speed rail. Conflicted, but I'm okay with it.
Provincial: abysmal dogshit. Completely dropping the ball on the housing crisis, constantly burning billions on random bs and then cutting funding to actually good stuff like schools. The ruling party (CAQ) is projected to get 0 seats on the next election though, down from an absolute majority.
City: Super duper based, /c/fuckcars would be proud.

National (the country)
Nation, US: has gotten so ridiculously bad
State: Florida, not as bad as media would have it but pretty damn bad.
City: cool. Laid back cops. Ok all round, they try. But our city DA was removed by our asshole governor, for de-prioritizing culture war bullshit.

Germany is totally fucked.
Happens when there was no peoples chancler since the early 80s

No no no. Even IF the AfD would come to power we have lots of checks and balances. Buuuut economicly and risking it...dont...dont move to germany. My boyfriend is from england and they cant find a job with job experience and B2 germany a degree and he already doesnt expect the pay he should be getting. We have been looking for 2 years...

I'm French. Do I have to say more?

Yes please
Our government is center-right but is applying a far-right program. They divide people, designating "guilty" people. Guilty as, they are the reason you are poor : muslims, feminists and transgenders mainly. All the politics conducted are for the wealthiest. Police has never been so violent towards protesters : they mutilate, they kill. Our President is ignoring election results (he should name a Prime Minister from the left who won last elections) and is going against all our institutions (but "it's legal" so he does not care). Moreover, he destroyed a lot of counter powers (do we call them like that in English?) during his mandate.
And we may have the original far right soon.
