...the Germans have no clue.

Yes you are correct. The Germans are clueless when it comes to politics. And they for the most part have really never understood America. I have a German friend who told me he needed to live here 15 years before he understood American politics. And he's a smart guy and now a US citizen.

The Germans should stick to making cars, beer, tools and a few other things. They are damn good at that. The Germans should stay away from politics that are not confined to Germany. And Der Spiegel has to be one of the stupidest publications on earth (or at least coming from an advanced country).

I did not have to live here 15 years to get it. I came to Colorado in 1974 and read 2 papers everyday, one liberal, one conservative. When my husband voted for carter, I was livid, but was very smug with my “I told you so” later.

My family in Germany is very liberal. Typical wealth envy, but do not donate to any charity. I don’t understand them.
