    You’re right, but he said it in other ways as well. It had another shitty headline like, “People are concerned by Trump’s voting declaration.”

      Ya I agree with you. He has stated his intentions in many ways through his actions. The problem is:

      A right winger sees people misquoting him, makes a YouTube video pointing out how “silly the left is” by this technical misquote, and then an impressionable non political person goes ‘damn they’re right’ and now starts listening to Joe Rogan.

        I don’t give a shit about a youtuber, they’ll make shit up if they do or don’t need to. I see the right wing as being ran by trolls at this point. Ya know, because they are. There are paid trolls here on Lemmy, I can’t imagine how bad youtube is.

          You’re in a war and I’m saying that this is giving your enemy additional ammunition. You’re totally correct - they’re ran by trolls. Trolls are highly effective weapons against those with poor media literacy. The majority are media illiterate and lack digital skills.

              They’ll say whatever they want but if they can base their bullshit on an ounce of truth, it’s got a lot of power used on the public.
