      No, more like if (somehow) George Bush and Trump ran against each other and Bush won.

      Its far from a great result but its not as bad as it could’ve been and, from a European standpoint, it means there’s strong opposition to Trump and strong support for Ukraine.

      Because this kind of coalition was the definition of stale, boring politics in the past. No innovations, mainly slight adjustments here and there.

      During the last time that coalition said something like “Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland.” which means something along the line of “The internet is frontier land for all of us.” Within seconds #Neuland (frontier land) became the hash tag for a shitstorm that still lasts to this day - after 12 (!) years.
      The internet was already established and well in use everywhere for ~20 years. And now the politicians suddenly recognized a new form of communication. If it wasn’t so funny I would have cried.

      That’s why everyone is disappointed. Can’t wait to hear what stupid shit this goverment will tell us. 🥱
