      It’s a misconception to take them for dumb, the FDP is very calculating. In 2 or 3 election periods, the public will have forgotten what they did this time, just as the public had forgotten until the last election what they had done the time before. Then they will return and do some more corrupt shit once more.

      This has been a trend among German politicians on social media (as the article correctly mentions). I am not exactly sure why this guy’s me-tooing nets him this amount of publicity and press coverage.
