    Come on, you can’t be that naive. Yes, misunderstandings happen. But what are the chances that this reporter had a misunderstanding exactly when it was most politically expedient for him?

    There is this weird thing people do in modern politics, where the people that have the same political beliefs they do can just never be wrong. People have their team, and everything that comes out of anyone with the same color shirt on or the right letter next to their name is suddenly defensible, no matter how obviously silly or ridiculous.

    Like communists will defend every single massacre perpetrated under the banner of communism. It’s absolutely insane. Just admit that people who you agree with can do/say things that are just wrong. It’s not that hard. And it doesn’t make your convictions less your convictions.

      I’ve been explaining myself all day about a joke I made at the expense of the moron who can’t speak correctly. I don’t care what you have to say. I’m sure it’s already been addressed in other comments.

        Lol that was either the most layered, mundane, self-pleasing joke ever made in the history of humanity or…you’re just lying

          Like yeah. Maybe it was a lame joke. I thought it was funny that their typical Trump supporter interviewee could be so ignorant and impossible to understand. Obviously he didn’t say “Joe Mall,” but that’s what I heard the first time and I was sharing that because I thought others would find it amusing. I was immediately accused of being a racist and told to gtfo.

          I’m now wondering if this whole ordeal is a psyop to make leftists look bad. I’m that blown away by the lack of understanding from this community.

          I learned some things here though. I learned that I shouldn’t have bothered to try to explain myself. The people in this community are desperate to find an enemy and I performed wrongthink. I was hoping that kind of garbage was left behind at reddit.

          Just go away. I’m not the one who should be ashamed here. If this continues I’ll block this whole community because what the fuck?
