Man kann daran 👇 und auch einigen rechten Blogs gut sehen, wie die Empörungsmaschinerie funktioniert. Ich kritisiere Merz, weil er Ideen deutscher Stadtbildreinheit aus dem Nationalsozialismus aufnimmt, und bringe als Beleg für diese Ideen ein Zitat von Goebbels. Statt Merz' Entgleisung /2

A narrow dirt trail winds through tall green grass and bright pink wildflowers, leading toward dense evergreen trees. In the distance, rugged snow-capped peaks rise against a cloudy gray sky in the North Cascades.
