The Ampel may have gained control over the government at the worst possible time. Everything is currently shit and people always blame the government, even though some of that is not under their control, which currently places blame on the only three important center-left parties. Thus people turn right.

unfunny thing though is, that most of the shit we have to deal with right now comes from the time CDU/CSU was in charge.

I... I'm so fricking done.

And the CDU blames them for everything they fucked up the past 20 years.

It's a tale as old as time. Conservatives fuck up so many things that they can't be fixed in the one term other parties occasionally get. And when those then fail to fix everything, people go "see? They're not better. Might as well vote conservative again."

Even worse; the Greens get blamed for shit the FDP does, because people don't know how coalitions work.
