I told a lefty that Assange said Trump was clean..
and they 'fact-checked' me with a reuters article that says:
ACTUALLY! What Assange actually said about Trump was that it's hard to release anything worse than the stuff that comes out of his mouth!
So basically... yeah, you can take Trump at his word. Assange would love to catch Trump in a lie. But all the worst stuff about him, he's very open about.
Don't you think wikileaks would publish evidence that Trump was lying, even about stormy daniels?
Ask your AI assistant of choice... has wikileaks ever caught Trump in a lie?
Not one.
Lefties still love Assange. Assange still defends Trump.
They just can't put two and two together...
"Lefties still love assange" You sure about that?
Yes, lol. That's why my comment was met with a factcheck about what he said, instead of just dismissing whatever he says as lies. Most of them still respect his opinion.
They're not lefties because they're smart or consistent... they're lefties because they're brainwashed. Assange was popular with the Occupy Wall Street crowd, too.
..and as redpillers, we can still capitalize on their opinion of him.
It was a genuine question. Most lefties I've seen disavowed him as a Trump sympathizer after 2016 because they were butthurt that the leaks hurt mainly democrats. Kind of like how they all loved Elon Musk until they were told not to.
a lot of lefties have been genuinely redpilled since then. true, many have turned on Musk. but Assange was primarily a non-partisan political figure, while Musk was primarily a businessman who became very political. Plus Assange was never really known for his wealth, but for his persecution. He's an extremely sympathizable character. Most of the lefties that turned on Assange are probably part of the 4-6%.
I heard Trump would have pardoned him but McConnell said if he did then he would be found guilty at the last impeachment.
