Baha wrote that another day should have shown Union supporters that the SPD, Greens, and the majority of journalists were exploiting them for their hypocrisy and failings. At the same time, the author criticized that they still wanted to please them in every way, stating that this was the consequence of that. #Politik #Union #Deutschland (translated)

Baha wrote that double standards are once again being displayed in the political capital, which hardly interests anyone anymore. He described the events as customary, contentless, and staged behavior. Because the Union does not learn from this, he believes that everyone will fail together – at least with what he perceives to be the correct attitude. #Politik #Doppelmoral #Berlin (translated)

Baha claimed that SPD representatives had voted for Tobias Rausch in order to subsequently have a topic for a RRG campaign. He described this as a fact, even though no one had to provide evidence for it, and thanked the SPD. #SPD #Politik #TobiasRausch (translated)

Baha described the excitement surrounding the events in Saxony-Anhalt as exaggerated and wrote that actions are being taken there at one's own discretion. Schulze's previous promises were seen as unrealistic; the CDU is not solely responsible, but also all those who believed they could replace a parliamentary majority with a specific stance. The author pointed out that the SPD and the Greens also voted with the AfD when it suited them, accusing them of only observing the firewall in the case of the Union. Political observers, in his view, have no connection to reality in the country. The criticism does not come from Magdeburg, but from an "ivory tower," in which the Union is collectively portrayed as the sole culprit. No one takes responsibility for the failure of their own interpretation of the firewall against the right, wrote Baha. #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #CDU (translated)

Baha accused Konstantin and his party friends of pushing the Union to the edge with their desired firewall, which brought 30 percent to the AfD while not benefiting the left camp. Instead, he wrote, the left has shifted further to the left, and its alarmist tone seems more authentic. He noted that the hypocritical, pseudo-altruistic comments about caring are no longer convincing. Baha wrote that Konstantin played a role in turning Friedrich Merz into an enemy figure, accusing him of opening the gate to hell when he relied on the support of the SPD and Greens for "Common Sense" in the Bundestag. The subsequent campaign yielded nothing. At the same time, those addressed relied on the assumption that the Union would never go into coalition with the AfD and would look for a power option with them in case of doubt. Now, Baha wrote, that too is wobbling: A weak Union no longer helps them, and Red-Red-Green is far from a majority. He wrote that his party has put itself in a bind out of fear of Konstantin and his political environment. That is the problem of his party. However, the previous red-green course has failed and has significantly harmed democracy as well as the Union, he explained. #Politik #Deutschland #Demokratie (translated)

Baha wrote that even a slight deviation of a journalist from the consensus of the "capital city bubble" leads to strong social pressure. He stated that this group pressure significantly contributes to the current political situation and referred to the comments. #Journalismus #Politik #Öffentlichkeit (translated)

Baha described the linked comment as particularly convincing and expressed the hope that Klingbeil, Bas, Brantner, and Banaszak were currently drafting their resignation letters. https://t.co/3wWK68l6VN #Politik #Rücktritt #Meinung (translated)

Baha wrote that, in his assessment, the SPD and the Greens would cooperate with the Left without hesitation if it meant gaining a majority. If necessary, they would form a minority government and exert pressure through a joint opposition with the AfD. He added that this representation was simplified. https://t.co/Y3Fu1nqSWt #Politik #Bundestag #Deutschland (translated)

Baha wrote that the majority of the media landscape is in a dilemma: It has discredited every alternative strategy for dealing with the AfD and now has to either deny 30 percent of the population political participation or admit to having made a mistake. #Medien #AfD #Politik (translated)

Baha wrote that he increasingly feels like he wants to stop posting on X. Until the election last year, he was proud of the Union and Friedrich Merz; he believed he had overcome the shame from 2021. The Union had known what to do but had not negotiated with the necessary toughness. In this respect, Olaf Scholz was right: the party had been afraid of its own courage. He did not expect the coalition with the SPD and the quick break with previous positions. Initially, he still sought justifications out of loyalty. Meanwhile, he sees chaos, irrationality, and fear in Berlin. Warnings about the SPD as a danger to the Union and about red-red-green ambitions had previously been dismissed; now, RRG is forming, he wrote. A minority government would require a sophisticated strategy, the implementation of which he cannot recognize in the party. In his view, the common sense with which the Union has come back has been lost not because of the voters, but due to a lack of political leadership. He feels hardly bound to the party anymore and can imagine that another decision he considers wrong at the federal level would trigger his exit. Regarding Thuringia, he expressed his disbelief by shaking his head. He also recognizes no learning curve in politics and journalism. #Politik #Union #Wahlen (translated)

The author wrote that some capital city journalists would refer to the linked content as "part of the democratic center." https://t.co/wqn4EqVKw1 #Demokratie #Mitte #Journalismus (translated)

Baha referred to 18 percent and wrote that he continues to hear that a minority government is a bad idea and that the Union's policies are the problem. In his view, the problem is that the Union did not implement its policies after the election. Otherwise, it would have achieved at least 28.5 percent, regardless of whether it governed with the SPD or not. #Politik #Minderheitsregierung #Wahlen (translated)

Baha criticized a procedure as completely absurd and wrote that it would cost many more voices. In closing, he added "Well done." #Politik #Wahlen #Stimmen (translated)

Baha wrote that he remembers days of critical reports about a collaboration between CDU and AfD at the municipal level, even during primetime on public broadcasting. Now, SPD, Greens, and Left are negotiating in the capital about anti-Semitism, while the media outrage is absent, he criticized. He described the lack of outrage as pathetic. #Politik #Mediation #Antisemitismus (translated)

Madness. Simply madness. But it also shows how broken our society is. Because actually millions of people should be taking to the streets now and demonstrating in front of the party headquarters of the SPD and the Greens. They only do that when it is a moral feel-good happening. https://t.co/AqB1Bf5jkt #Gesellschaft #Demonstration #Protest (translated)

Of course, Merz was right when he warned about leftist and green nutcases. As Chancellor, he should have also drawn consequences. #Politik #Merz #Deutschland (translated)

Blind in the left eye. SPD and Greens should be ashamed that they even consider such a coalition. #Politik #Koalition #SPD (translated)

Tatsächlich ist das ein von mir bereits vor Monaten skizziertes Szenario. RRG Minderheitsregierung mit verpflichtender Unterstützung der Union. Die darf ja nicht mit der AfD stimmen. Wenn es dann soweit ist, soll niemand sagen, man hätte es nicht ahnen können. #Politik #Deutschland #RRG

Ihr werdet immer häufiger erleben, dass sich die Parteien links als RRB-Block identifizieren. Nur so können sie ihre eigenen Umfragewerte schönreden und gegen die Union vergleichen. Währenddessen verliert die Union weiter an Zustimmung, da sie nicht tut, wofür sie gewählt wurde. #Politik #Wahlen #Parteien

Ich fände es übrigens großartig, wenn Robert Habeck eine Bewegung nach dem Vorbild „En Marche !“ startet. Er würde zwar fast ausschließlich das linke Lager zerlegen, aber in der aktuellen Situation könnte er sicher auch einige enttäuschte Unionsleute einfangen. In jedem Fall würde ein solcher Move die bisherige Parteienlogik unseres politischen Systems durcheinanderbringen. Und das ist absolut notwendig. Die für einen solchen Schritt notwendige Hybris hat er. Sowie den medialen Support und auch die leidenschaftlichen Anhänger. Zum Teil schon sektenartige Züge. Allerdings müsste er erstmal einen Claim mit seinem Initialen finden, wie Macron. Mit RH lässt sich sicher was machen. Vielleicht: „Richtung Himmel !“ #Politik #RobertHabeck #Bewegung
