My wife is Hispanic, and most of her family that doesn’t speak English, all love Trump. Apparently, when they translate him speaking into Spanish, they paraphrase everything he says, just to make him sound sane. Her aunt and father would both send her videos, where he’s rambling about some stupid, crazy shit, and the Spanish translation is completely different than what’s coming out of his mouth. It makes him sound normal.
She’s had to explain to them so many times, that what they’re hearing, is not what he’s actually saying…but when she translates it directly for them, they don’t always believe her. Why would they? They can’t believe anyone would say that, because it’s all nonsense.
They really have no idea just how stupid and dangerous he actually is.
This is exactly what I was getting at, and thank you for saying so because many of these responses have me losing faith in people’s ability to tangle with nuance.
A town I used to live in received Ted Cruz flyers in both Spanish and English during the last cycle. The ones that were in Spanish just flat out lied about his positions on immigration, and based on what older friends in the area have said, they’ve been pulling this shit for a long, long time now.
Those translators need to be muted and deafened ya know what shatter their hands irrevocably while your at it. They shouldnt have the ability to lie in such a way.
