She needs to deal with the fact that in this day and age politicians can't lie no more and can't fabricate those fake stories and then do different sh i t behind the scenes for money, oil and so on. We all woke now and there's nothing to 'regulate', she talks about "trolls" and fake articles but really what she really wants to end is internet activism and WikiLeaks things of that sort. Well guess what, you can't, it's over

She rather talks about people who claim Germany is an Islamic country aka trumps team

Well it's been said that if we let all those terrorists group do their thing Europe could become Islamic who the hell knows? It's a potential threat but highly unlikely, whatever. Trolls are allowed to troll though, it's free expression in a way

Not at all true. She's talking about pages that try to get ad revenue by stating completely untrue things about a person. People haven't woken up, they became less critical of media.

I think she started talking about the internet as a whole when there was this discussion about whether Facebook influenced Trump's election with fake articles, yes but I think she's scared that's why she's bringing it up, but the real truth is people voted against Clinton, because of all the corruption and all the bullsh i t politicians been doing for years. It just doesn't work anymore, and when you say people became less critical of media, I think it can be true, but it's also true that a lot of people are waking up right now, hence why this drastic shocking Trump election. It's shocking but it's the result of people being sick and tired of those robotic talking-about-nothing speeches and then do something different behind the scenes because of money and oil. It's over, it's a new day and age right now where in the near future it's probably going to be impossible to lie for politicians.

Germany could let in whole of Syria and still wouldn't be Muslim. 

Terrorists are a huge minority. And nothing major happened yet in Germany and we took over a million refugees.

Of course he is, who knows if he'll do what he says but he's a result of this heavy frustration people feel lately, whether it's in America or not, they picked him cause he seemed less "scripted" in a way and that's what people gravitate towards right now. I'm from France, they recently completely eliminated our ex-president and picked somebody new who talks in a less "scripted" way. And I'm pretty sure the right-wing is going to win and everywhere in Europe there's going to be a political revolution. I think the old ways of doing politics are gonna disappear, I think in like 2050 there's going to be way less corrupted politicians because they'll always be exposed no matter what. That's a hopeful view of the future though, who knows, let's hope for that.

We never thought Trump would win, I never thought he would, he's a joke. But this frustration right now could get ANYBODY elected. There's a possibility, a real possibility Le Pen wins

I think some of y'all are projecting. Almost as if y'all posted fake info yourselves to rile people up.

Not in countries in Germany. 90% of Germany don't support the right party. Which is also homophobic, racist and anti Semitic, so I don't know why you basically wish for those parties to win.

Are humans really stupid enough to where they need someone to tell them what isn't true?
