>we should impeach her or even better sentence her to death.

People in the U.S. and even Germany were calling for the same actions against Trump before he'd assumed office.   He hadn't actually done any actions yet.    They wanted him impeached or killed for words he said while campaigning.    It is not unique to the U.S. and U.S. doesn't have a monopoly on dumb people.   They are everywhere.  :)

As to Angela Merkel.   I am not a fan, but I have only been able to see her through the filtered lense of many different english speaking news outlets, both mainstream, and alternative.

I realize there is likely some bias, so I try to keep an open mind as I realize that taking things out of context can turn truth into a lie.

So I am not a fan based upon what I have read, watched of her myself.    Yet I am not a German and would not tell a German what they should do about her.   That is for the Germans to decide.

I also would gladly change my mind if I learned information that indicated I should.

>Often “leaders” are overestimated in their power.

All too true. If you didn't follow me back then:

Merkel is a 150% Machtmensch. She understands Power. That why she can give people her vollstes Vertrauen ;)

I don't like her for a lot of reasons, but then it could have been a lot worse. 
The fun fact is that there is no way we could NOT have let the Syrian refugees in (Grundgesetz), especially since they only came because for the EU states 600 million for the UN to feed them in the camps in/around Syria was too expensive. 

3 month after there was no food left, suddenly and totally surprising hundreds of thousands turned up at the EU borders. Let me just get the calculator out, ~3000km / 90 days = 33km a day - yes, that is about what you can walk. What a strange coincidence!

It can't be that unpopular looking at how she's on top in the polls.
Upvoted and followed.

Congratulations @thatgermandude!

I believe people in the US dislike her because she is a woman and intelligent. Everyone here, in my family considers Merkel to be the new leader of the free world. You're a lucky country to have her as your leader. Now, I wish someone would get Trump impeached.

I think it is good to welcome people from other countries with open arms. That is what Canada does, and it's a peaceful nation.

Thanks for writing this. I am so ignorant regarding the politics of other nations, but you decreased my dumb with this article.  Also, the pic of Merkel in red reminds me of my mother, who was also tormented for her appearance when she was one of America's first female bank managers.  Those eyes!

Merkel is a game changer for Germany and for women! Great Post!

Politicians are the expression of the average morality of the crowd. Don't blame them. Blame the people who voted for them.

I dont really like A. Merkel cause she destroys Germany. And she knows it.. im looking forward to the day she will get dismissed. Nearly nobody will miss this woman.
