What is interesting to me as a german is more that the hints of "anything happening" have been there since the election. Even prior to inauguration the first time around if im not mistaken..
Ofc, innocent until proven guilty but it has taken soooo long until even someone actually tried to find out and show proof of Trumps involvement or innocence.. (ofc also especially because of moving the transcript to classified i guess..)
Us in europe have a similar dynamic. Under the flag of "truth"- as stated to be opposed to political correctness- politicians in germany, the netherlands, austria or England are stating things that even are contrary to the Country's own constitution and still get away with it...
Yes, Rudeman in germany under the same conditions and accusations would have been investigated sooner. But since investigations sometimes even turn out to be rigged.. the scary thing is that these people somehow end up keeping their Position, no matter the actually proof against it...
Populismus kills rational arguments alltogether and it scares me! Like the founder of this thread has proven by asking if anyone wants to discuss and then rely on calling people names like moron shortly after based on them having opposing opinions.
I guess in germany we are lucky though because we have been brought up by the Credo of ALWAYS making up our own mind on anything we read because we gave birth to the populism and Propaganda that haunts our planet more than ever kinda these days.. it still works in 70 percent of the time at least luckily..
But even over here facts start to matter less and less. Effects, pictures, smartly placed propaganda is what matters.
The difference maybe.. you get caught ONCE openly lying on facts as a politician of parliament in europe.. you get excluded if truly proven so.
Yes my political view might be apparent. Still, innocent until proven guilty. But if guilty, left, right.. donkey, elephant.. republican, democrat or whatever they would pretend to be... WE DONT NEED NO WATER, BURN THE FUCKER DOWN!" (yes i can emotional, loser populism, too!) Haha
Strong words make anyone feel tough these days haha
