I knew this thread would be FILLED with Trump apologist. He literally said "was there any love?... Like there was in Germany"
It's not taking it too far. It's what he said. We don't need to figure out if he meant a prison guard or Germans in general. We don't need to excuse what he meant by adding precision he didn't add. According to Trump there was love for Jews in Nazi Germany.
I'm so glad to see at least a few people resisting the sanewashing.
Jesus fucking Christ. It is a sad day when a person that actually read the article and provided context and quotes to rebuke an obvious clickbait title is accused of sanewashing Trump.
Sometimes Lemmy can be a worse disinformation-spreading echo chamber than Reddit ever was. Be better.
Thanks, there is a lot of sanewashing going on in the media and lemmy. Me trying to explain why he might say something as stupid and hurtful like this is perhaps also sanewashing him. But I did want to post those quotes mainly because I feel Lemmy and the Internet is general is better off if we base our hate and dislike (which I certainly agree with in Trumps) on things that actually happend.
Yes Trump said something very crazy, even for him more crazy than usual but falling for headlines like this is not gonna make it easier to talk with people who support Trump or someone like him and polarization played, I think, a huge part in why he could get elected. If we choose to make lemmy a place that polarizes people it will give people like Trump power.
The thing you're saying didn't happen literally happen, what are you talking about?
