This is not special. Just because our government was stupid enough to ever consider voting for it in the first place doesnt make 'voting for the only sane option' something to be proud of.
This is like your kid telling you they set the house on fire, you panic and then they go 'nah jk I only wrecked your car' and youre like 'Im so proud of you'
I already decided I'm proud of it and you can't make me stop!!!
The greatest German achievement since the Ottonian Dynasty.
Thanks Germany ✌️
Stop embarrassing yourself Denmark. Danes I think you need to hold your government accountable.
