And what if your country has a flag you don't identify with? (not saying she does, I don't know)Because if I am looking to vote for a leader of my country I want someone who takes pride in their homeland and wants to make it a better place. Someone who appears disgusted by their own flag shows they have some deep disdain for their country. It's a matter of opinion maybe loving your country is not an important factor for you but it is for me.I don't claim to know the intricacies of Germany as i've never lived there i'm taking what I see at face value.
It shows she has disdain for weaving the flag publically. Actually the flag is a bit of an issue for some people. Identifying with it is not easy for everyone, and you know, recent history is a rocky place for us. Reunification was 26 years ago, 26 years, its not that long. And we still mourn territories that should be ours.
And yeah, you can't really comprehend our identity, its kinda unique.
She does want to make it a better place. Germany and the world.
If you read from that that she dislikes the people then I don't know what to tell you. And kinda clashes with the image we do have internationally to be protective of what is ours, no? Which we are. And I do think that is exactly what she wants to play down. Its an image-move.
