    If someone wants to break some redditors brains today, post this exact quote, but attribute it to trump, and post it to reddit and and the reddit lemmy instance. Watch them go from mild zionist dislike to full-zionism in the span of a few minutes.

    Imagine how you can be born and instead of becoming a compassionate human being you turn into a ghoul that serves a line on a graph going up, and only that

        With Trump picture: ‘TRUMP FASCIST FUCK HE MUST BE STOPPED PLS VOOOOOOTE!!!’

        With Biden picture: ‘You know what, he’s right. We Westerners, as a beacon of freedom and democracy, need to defend the Arab world against those pesky brown people and their backwards ideas. Biden 2024!’

    He sounds like a deranged right-winger in that clip but liberals will still claim he’s the most “left” president since FDR, who wasn’t all that radical himself during that time.

      I don’t know if he can even be placed anywhere in the scope of US left-right politics, because all of his attention and concerns are completely outside of anything regarding US internal affairs.

      He actually said this in 1986. Most people with dementia only live 5 to 10 years. So while the statement is absolutely demented in nature, he probably suffers from some other degenerative disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, such as being a capitalist.

    It’s fun taking 40 year old quotes and putting them on modern pictures. I’m sure his stance isn’t different at all today.
