At least the Left is not trying to hide their agenda.

Germany kinda has a thing for electing terrible chancellors

Thats not what she said tho. In Germany, as far as I am aware, Free Speech has certain limitations. You cant deny the Holocaust, you cant spew out racist things and you cant tell people to commit crimes. I googled it and she said that Freedom of Speech in Germany has certain limitations, which is true as stated in their Constitution.

Yes. I have way too much time on my hands

Yes, Germany, as do we, have certain restrictions on speech. However, her speech was a call for further restrictions on speech, speech that she doesn't like. That is a slippery slope.

For instance, what if 40 years ago it was decided that calling for Gay Rights was immoral and you were not allowed to talk about it.

All speech, whether you like it or not, must be protected. It is the only way that people can decide which ideas are good and which ideas are bad.

Ah. I didnt read her saying that.

I doubt it

Plus Angela Merkel's party is CENTER RIGHT
