Life dissatisfaction increases support for right-wing populist parties by fostering political distrust and anti-immigration sentiment, according to a study analyzing survey data from 14 European countries.
Online they are always frothing at the mouth at negative mention of Merkel and her shiti economic and geopolitical policy
You sound like you’re doing wild stereotyping. But no, not every single German thinks the same way.
And you may not want to hear it, but while Merkel’s policies often did a disservice to Germany and the EU, she did have strengths. Just compare her to the utter non-presence that is Olaf Scholz, who somehow snagged the chancellor’s seat.
Has the public opinion turned on her within Germany yet or we still calling her auntie?
We called her “Mutti”, i.e. “mommy”. There isn’t even a German word for “auntie” in German afaik. And I should k because growing up, I had a very motherly neighbor. We never had a special term for her.
I deff am but I am going off my shitposting experiences dealing with German topics.
she did have strengths
Nobody is all bad but her leadership put Germany in some weird spots especially in light of ukraine invasion. She and scholz like many of our dear leaders is just another neo liberal maxi pad between the elites and the people.
Useless when it comes to policy setting and driving but always around to give big business a handy.

Wouldn’t auntie literally be Tantchen? However, I’ve never heard somebody using it except perhaps in translated US TV.
Hmm. According to Collins you’re right. That makes me a lot less sure about the definitions I had in my head:
Tantchen, either a) your favorite aunt or a b) random short and/or middle-aged woman that you’re being condescending towards.
auntie, a woman that you may or may not be related to but who you look up to for advice etc. and who may fill the role of a parent at times.
Maybe someone wants to comment on the veracity of these. :)
