36% of the eligible population didn’t vote and that can only mean they were fine with both Trump and Harris. That makes 71% of the population - the majority of the people.

Can relate. Am I secretly a Finlandian?

You can’t live 150 years next to the USA and not be influenced by them. That’s impossible.

Big cars, checkerboard cities, guns, house design, …

Not sure if that could work. It’s also a question about culture and values.
And sorry to say this dear Canadians: You are at least partly americanized.

That’s an interesting take! Maybe I should do that too, when I restart learning Italian again.
Une, due, tre. Short and simple enough for me!
Or I go the masochist route and name them il ragazzo, la ragazza, i ragazzi and le ragazze. :D

I didn’t meant the newlines. ^^

Is that a new kind of masochism?

'nough said!

It would be extremist if they do that instead of just telling what they would like to do. Trump tells us he wants to annex Canada and Greenland. Does that make him an extremist too?

CDU was always center-right and SPD center-left. In the last years SPD slowly drifted to center. Some still consider them center-left.

You should check on the definition of extremist. The AfD ist far-right, yes, but not extremist (yet).

Germany will probably get a centrist-right (CDU/CSU) government with a centrist-left junior partner (SPD).
Centrist-right is far left in US terms.

I expect stagnancy in German politics for the next 4 years. -_-

Doesn’t sound that impressive when Wendelstein 7-X achieved 17 minutes of plasma in 2021.
