All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

Are you still under the delusion that Cuomo is left wing?

No, just that he is aligned with the Democratic Party, rather than the Republicans.

And he is a bit authoritarian, at least if you listen to the Jews. For rioters, it may be different.

...the funny thing is, that policy used to belong to the left. Now it seems to be on the right.

The dismantling of environmental and health policies and the nepotism, the pandering to religious fundamentalists, the toleration of right wing terroists, the wholesale description of demonstrators and protesters as and the corruption and blackmailing that accompany them belong to the right. Because of these I regard the Dems as "dangerous mobs of far-left groups" marginally preferable.

Using the same symbol the Nazis devised to label political dissidents incarcerated in concentration camps really takes the cake.

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/06/ ... fa-symbol/

Facebook’s decision to censor one of the Trump campaign’s ads, which calls on Americans to join the President in opposition to the far-left domestic terrorist Antifa movement, rests on the flimsy argument that an Antifa symbol used by the campaign in its Facebook post is actually a Nazi symbol.

The symbol in question is an inverted red triangle with a black border. Left-wing advocacy groups including Media Matters claim the symbol was used to designate political prisoners in Nazi concentration camps.

That was one of the ways in which inverted red triangles were used historically. But the symbol predates the Nazis, and was used by the far-left militants as early as 1890. Today, the symbol has been co-opted by the modern-day militant movement Antifa, which uses it widely.

Tim Murtagh, Director of Communications for the Trump campaign, strongly condemned Facebook’s censorship in a statement.

“The inverted red triangle is a symbol used by Antifa, so it was included in an ad about Antifa,” said Murtagh. We would note that Facebook still has an inverted red triangle emoji in use, which looks exactly the same, so it’s curious that they would target only this ad. The image is also not included in the Anti-Defamation League’s database of symbols of hate. But it is ironic that it took a Trump ad to force the media to implicitly concede that Antifa is a hate group.”

*emphasis mine

So is it a Nazi symbol? Or Antifa?

Or is there a difference?

Oh, wait, maybe facebook IS Antifa, and this is more of a copyright claim...

Defend the triangle being a hate symbol if you want, but that is a bit awkward for Antifa. I thought they were a hate group already, so it doesn't ruffle MY feathers lol

This is an emoji.

It's also a symbol widely used by Antifa. It was used in an ad about Antifa.

It is not in the ADL's Hate Symbols Database. pic.twitter.com/V4fK8QWHKD

'A symbol widely used by Antifa.' Just another in the interminable cascade of shitty lies issuing forth from Trumpworld.

It looks like Trump and his supporters aren't even hiding their fascist leanings and admiration of Hitler and the Nazis any more.

Ah yes, the 'no true antifa' defense.

It's an emoticon. Not a hatespeech. (unless it was before Trump used it)

[NineBerry]

The red triangle is used by some Antifa groups in Europe the same way the pink triangle is used by some gay rights groups. Since it is a representation of the group being persecuted under national socialism, using it in the context of trying to say you are against the group is extremely weird and bad-tasted. Either you don't know what the symbol represents or deliberately condone the persecution under nazism.

[Animavore]

Yep. They're the two choices. If Trump didn't know what it meant he's too stupid to be President. If he did he's too evil to be President.

Either answer doesn't look good.

[NineBerry]

I don't think Trump was personally involved in drafting those posts.

[Animavore]

Ok, so that only leaves him now, I'm sure, knowing what it means. Where's his condemnation of the post and his action towards his team?

Exactly.

[NineBerry]

He's still trying to understand what a triangle is. Faucy may be currently trying to explain it.

[Brian Peacock]

aide: "A triangle, Mr President, is like when you cut your toast from corner to corner rather than from side to side."
president: "What's on the toast?"

[Cunt]

Yep. They're the two choices. If Trump didn't know what it meant he's too stupid to be President. If he did he's too evil to be President.

Either answer doesn't look good.

It was an available emoticon on social media platforms. I think the sudden attention to it is because someone tries to get Republicans censored.

I suspect republicans, but you do you.

[Brian Peacock]

You still won't acknowledge that those currently in power used a nazi symbol to denote their political opposition. If you want to know the the official antifa symbol you only have to look at my profile piccy.

There's thousands of emoticons on the platforms. They just have the symbols that are part of the unicode catalogue. The red triangle isn't there as a political symbol. It's among a set of geometrical shapes.

There's also the finger there as a symbol

Do you send the finger to other people and then when they complain you say "I don't know what you want. It was in the list of emoticons on facebook so it cannot mean anything bad."

The posts by Trump guys didn't even use it as an emoticon. They used it as an actual image and it was on the website that the post were linking to. The topic of the posts was supporting Trump's idea of declaring "Antifa" a terror organisation. What was the purpose of using that symbol in that context when the history behind the symbol is anti-fascists being murdered in concentration camps?
