I should be much more politically active than I am,but I find it so tiring and disillusioning- whenever I get hopeful about a politician it more or less turns into a a disappointment. Frau Merkel , of whom I expected very little as I’d never voted for her party before, turned out to be a rare , almost unique surprise - a politician who didn’t seem to be motivated by power but a genuine will to do good , to be human , to take risks in the face of populism , and I am incredibly sad to see her go . She was a beacon of light, and for the first time in my life she made me feel proud about being German - she impersonated empathy and common sense and strength in the face of not only all the tragedies that keep happening but also all those white male bullies that have tried to put her down over her more than 15 years in power . She wasn’t perfect ( who is ?) but she became fairly close! Goodbye Mutti ❤️ You will be missed ! @bundeskanzlerin #angelamerkel
