    The image is overblown comparison but she wasn’t that far left. She cut a lot of government spending and focused hard on fiscal responsibility with the debt brake. She’s pretty much the reason why trains are not on time in Germany.

    She also had to moderate the CDU/CSU position to form a coalition with SPD so there’s no way to know if she would have done things differently with a CDU/CSU majority government.

    But yeah, the picture implying nazi stuff is pretty far from her policies of pro immigration, inclusive economic growth and generally holding up democratic values.
