Michaela, my brother and his family are in from Basel, Switzerland, and we spent Easter with them. My brother and I always talk politics, and he agrees with your views. He has said that their German friends are angry over what is taking place in their country, and are baffled as to how Merkel got re-elected.
He also said that Trump is becoming increasingly popular with the Swiss and Germans.
Switzerland has very strict rules about assimilation and the number of "refugees" accepted into the country. In fact, 2 male migrants who were relocated to the village next to Basel (that's where they live), refused to shake hands with females at a recent sport event. He explained that it is custom to shake hands with coaches and parents prior to, and after a school sports event. When the 2 young men complained, their visas were withdrawn and they were ordered out of the country.
“Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”

I think there is no "reporting" , but more that we - as families- teach again at home. Talk about politics, religion. Talk about it with friends too- with the understanding that its being kept civil. And that its ok to agree to disagree. To come in with facts and please- teach your kids/grandkids. If you think they are too young and you should wait, you are wrong- by the time they hit highschool, they already get brainwashed by teachers . College? yeah- way late. To give them a understanding of the constitution and the bill of rights. Talk about it over the dinner table and try to make it as fascinating as jersey shore the more informed we are, the better we can vote and vote for the right people- or maybe get into politics being better informed then the opponent
