The votes go to the firewall.
If you stop being the firewall - if you hint you might stop - they’ll go to those who won’t stop being the firewall.
Something the CSU seems to understand, for all their legion of faults.

![Trümmerfrauen (lit. rubble women,[a] singular Trümmerfrau German pronunciation: [ˈtʁʏmɐˌfʁaʊ̯]) were women who, in the aftermath of World War II, helped clear and reconstruct the bombed cities of Germany and Austria. Hundreds of cities had suffered significant bomb and firestorm damage from aerial attacks and ground war, and with many men dead or prisoners of war, this monumental task fell to a large degree on women.
3.6 million out of the sixteen million homes in 62 cities in Germany were destroyed during Allied bombings in World War II, with another four million damaged. Half of all school buildings, forty percent of the infrastructure, and many factories were either damaged or destroyed. According to estimates, there were about 500 million cubic metres of rubble[3] (a volume of over 150 Great Pyramids of Giza) and 7.5 million people were made homeless.
Removal of ruins
Since the first Allied bombing raids in 1940 the Germans had become used to clearing up the resulting devastation, but most of this clearance work had been undertaken by forced laborers and POWs. However following the end of war they were no longer available and so the Germans had to do the work themselves.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ndxd4h47nhylsdfke4x4arlk/bafkreif7wdp2jl5dhdk4mlgnt3xbc2d34l3dvrybfh6x3o6kquu53e7o3e)
