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.
I read the article, I saw the interview. He literally said
“was there any love?.. Like there was in Germany”
What I skipped is only a description of what Trump thinks love is (extra piece of bread and a wink) and that hamas didn’t do it. The two clauses are literally directly connected.
I know it’s hard to believe that’s what he said. Unfortunately you’ll have to accept it to deal with the modern reality.
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.
