Sometimes I like to comfort myself with the fact that Bavaria and the states where the AfD gets elected are far away. But they're probably not, and eventually we too need to face this.

How would any Bundesland be far away if it’s literally just a couple hours drive in any direction to reach the border? Europe isn’t that big actually.

Hehe. But fuel is way more expensive. So driving for 100km is probably the same as driving 1000 km in the US. But American people don't drive kilometers anyways.

You're probably right. I've been in another Bundesland last week. And to Bavaria last year. But I won't admit that.

Nur zur Klärung, ich bin auch Kartoffel, weiß das also auch aus erster Hand 😅

Sauber. Hoffe du wirst auch nicht von komischen Leuten belästigt und wohnst weit weg von Andi Scheuer, dem Söder und so.

(Ich glaube aber nicht, dass Kartoffel eine gängige Selbstbezeichnung der Deutschen ist.)
