But RP, you are not supposing that this will go on, are you? Germans are notorious realists, are they not? They see the writing on the wall, do they not? This must be stopped.

Sadly, I have to disagree.
This might be due to me living in the big cities. They want it. There are many Germans that want to believe in the green and government dream. Before things get better, I think there will be a lot of pain and sobering up to do.
The kind of sobering up, they try to hide with 10000kcals worth of mental gymnastics.
