No state can be built with gender and smoking weed, that much is clear. Prime Minister Markus Söder has already set clear limits here. As has now emerged, his spin doctors in the State Chancellery advise a two-pronged strategy: clear edges on the one hand, human traits on the other. The latter is probably responsible for the most recent photo from China in which Söder kisses a stuffed toy panda. It seems human, but it has its pitfalls because the contrast is striking. Compared to a cute panda, almost every human is ugly. Even Söder. It’s complicated.
Also the first Tiktok test series in Sweden with a dancing Söder Abbas “Dancing Queen” was unsatisfactory; Nobody asked him to become, if not the king of the dance, then at least chancellor. According to the specialists, one of the best things so far has been the largely meaningless symbolic politics on topics that only upset those who don’t vote for the CSU anyway, but are met with approval by everyone else. The cross decree worked well, as did the gender ban.
One would like to think further in this direction. The recently undervalued hashtag #soederisst could be given new impetus by a catering regulation that instructs restaurants to have Nuremberg grilled sausages, Munich white sausages and Augsburg plum datschi available at all times. From the Boazn to the three-star restaurant. “Ultimately, this is about a clear commitment to the beer and Leberkäs world,” said Söder, alluding to a quip from Franz Josef Strauss.
A regulation that requires standing chairs in public toilet facilities should also be considered. After all, you can’t let some woke, green handicraft teachers prohibit you from doing something that you’ve always done. Similarly, an adjustment to the road traffic regulations could be considered, which would prohibit drivers of cars manufactured in Bavaria from signaling when turning. “That’s just an adjustment to reality,” says Söder, “after all, a BMW driver doesn’t blink.” If you implement the principle: “Hamma has always done it like that!” consistently enough, it should lead to an absolute majority for the CSU again.
