I can’t describe the feeling to pretend that everything is ok in front of my kids to not scare them before school, while I burn with fear for their future inside. I just left them for four days to go to Berlin and that goodbye hurt so so much. I don’t see how the world should recover from this. I just really don’t. Maybe later, but not now. I feel so sorry for everyone in the US right now who voted for Harris. Especially those who will be most affected by Trump‘s policies. What a nightmare.
I shared a very personal post a few month ago and then unlisted it from my site. It's a tough one and I was very worried about attracting the wrong folks with it or getting into painful discussions. But a lot of really wonderful conversations followed. Especially with people from the US. I think it's the right time to post it once more. Maybe it can help you in some way or another: "My Grandpa was a Nazi"
Es ist mir völlig egal, was Leute von den Grünen oder Robert Habeck halten. Ich kann mich an keinen Politiker in meinem Leben erinnern, der so heftig einstecken musste und trotzdem immer noch so kommunizierte und handelte: Es ist für mich ein absoluter Jammer, dass sehr viele erst im Rückblick verstehen werden, was er da gerade für uns leistet.
