The other icons used in the campaign are very generic. Even my Telegram has such a triangle not too far away from the also used "slow emoji". Another explanation could be that it is used by the antifa. It might not be as prominent as the flags, but it is a first-page hit on an image-search and I have seen that symbol multiple times.
At the very least it is not plausible at all that the trump campaign intentionally and openly uses Nazi iconography to mark them as to be gassed, using an additional 88 (=...) symbol in tandem. That is not plausible. In particular because of the source.
In a day or two this will be officially proven to be a complete lie, but no one will care. And submissions to document this will be ignored like they always are.
- astolarz 6y ago>but it is a first-page hit on an image-search Every single instance of an upside down red triangle on an image search for "antifa symbol" is a screenshot of a post from the Trump campaign. There is no use of the symbol without referring to that campaign post.
- nieve 6y agoI'm getting it on the first page as well, but I think you're missing some chronological logic: at the time they created the ad they couldn't possibly be seeing their own ad as the first results.

- koheripbal 6y agoI'm confused. Hillary isn't jewish. ...yet his daughter is. ...as is his grandson, and most of his New York friends - and also Jared Kushner. Frankly, the narrative that he's anti-Semitic is not credible considering his "favorite" daughter converted to Christianity with his support.
- danans 6y ago> I'm confused. Hillary isn't jewish. ...yet his daughter is. ...as is his grandson, and most of his New York friends - and also Jared Kushner. You're probably confused because like a normal person you see a contradiction, and you appear to resolve it with the most charitable interpretation. Others may resolve it with the non charitable explanation. He on the other hand has no problem with the contradiction of using an anti-semitic ad while having Jewish family if the ad resonates with his supporters and serves his interests, which it did. This is one of his unique abilities: allegiance to nothing but himself, therefore contradictions that arise from loyalty to a principle or person are meaningless.

- s9w 6y agoNo like the other icons in that campaign, like I said. Other symbols included stop signs, another red triangle with an exclamation mark etc. It's obvious that they were just generic symbols - all of them similar and benign. They constructed this insane narrative with the triangle, made up some bullshit around it (88 of them) and set the usual machine in motion (MM, ADL, MSM, blue checkmarks). And you all know it.
- ianleeclark 6y agoFrom a few days ago, you said: > As a counterpoint, look at what happens with the "it's okay to be white" posters. Completely benign, commonsense and not a reaction to something. And yet... Huh. Starting to notice a trend. Curious how that works out. Also, what's your thing with George Soros? Usually people like yourselves are quick to jump on another dog whistle.
- s9w 6y agoI fail too see either of your points if there were any.
