Himmel! Wie kann man sowas sagen? Es ist nicht nur gefühlt falsch, wenn man Social Media die letzten Wochen in DE beobachtet hat, es ist auch noch faktisch falsch.

Meine Damen und Herren, wir haben es: Den ersten digitalen Märtyrer der Republik. Friedrich Merz fühlt sich auf Social Media „herabgewürdigt“. Sein dramatischer Höhepunkt: „Kein Kanzler vor mir hat so etwas ertragen müssen.“ 😅🤣 Ich bitte Sie! Die Vorgänger hatten den Kalten Krieg und die Wiedervereinigung – Friedrich hat ein paar böse Memes. Das ist der neue Kreuzweg der Macht: Station eins, ein unfreundlicher Tweet von einem Arbeitslosen aus Castrop-Rauxel. Ein wahres Schicksalsdrama! Und dann dieses deutsche Meisterstück der Passiv-Aggressivität: „Ich will mich gar nicht beschweren... aber so ist es.“ #DigitalerMärtyrer #Politik #SozialeMedien
