I was surprised three times about a political thing in the last months, all of them positive:
The Trump administration hasn’t cracked down on leftists (yet).
AfD is starting to lose more in eastern Germany.
My city (Munich) elected a young Green promising to lower rent instead of some older Social Democrat literally promising nothing new.
I’m pessimistic about a lot of things, but compared to many people I know, I’m tentatively optimistic about the US. It looks to me like they’re still “only” doing voter suppression at a scale that isn’t close to “Nazi Brownshirts standing in the booths”.
