Like that time he had an image of Hillary Clinton, on a background of money, with a "most corrupt ever" caption written in the middle of a star of David. It's intentional.
- 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.

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.
