U.S. Resident, Sandy Molling, Wishes to Depart Due to Trump Presidency
German singer Sandy Mölling, a former member of No Angels, is returning to Germany from the US after a ten-year residence. The 44-year-old is currently relocating from California due to political reasons, specifically the re-election of Donald Trump.
Mölling voiced her concerns about the state of affairs in the US, stating, "It's disturbing to witness small businesses faltering under tariffs, books being banned, LGBTQ rights being curbed, widespread misinformation, and increasing racism." Her son, of dark skin, has already encountered racism in his young life, she emphasized, adding, "One shouldn't forget the struggles Black Americans faced just a few decades ago."
In evaluating California's current situation, Mölling acknowledged a sense of isolation from the Trump administration's stance. However, she noted the widening gap between the rich and the poor in the state, with the middle class dwindling.
In terms of the broader context in California, the state is known for its protections of the LGBTQ community and has a legal framework against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. However, challenges persist within this community, including discrimination in employment and housing.
small businesses in California grapple with economic hardships, confronting high operational costs, housing insecurity, and access to affordable healthcare. While support initiatives exist to aid these enterprises, their effectiveness may not extend to marginalized communities.
There is no specific information available detailing Mölling's personal encounters with racism, the LGBTQ community, or small businesses in California.
- Mölling's concerns extend beyond politics, as she also finds war-and-conflicts and car-accidents alarmingly high in the US news.
- The German singer is aware of general-news stories about crime-and-justice, accidents, and fires that frequently occur in California.
- Mölling believes there should be more focus on creating a fair and equal society, rather than tackling individual issues like economic hardships faced by small businesses independently.
- Upon her return to Germany, Mölling plans to advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of marginalized communities and strive to provide equal opportunities for all, drawing from her experiences in both the US and California.
