    German athletes in 1936: “It’s not fair that everyone is mocking my swastika flag, I don’t represent the Gestapo.”

      We’re getting at least 10 posts a day from Americans apologising, and saying things like they didn’t vote for Trump or don’t support his policies. To be blunt, none of that actually matters. You can say you’re different from the rest of Americans, but to the rest of the world, that distinction doesn’t exist.

      Dumb comment.

      I mean, obviously it is silly that stupid Redditors creating emotional OPs denouncing Trump are flooding the subreddit. Who wants to subject themselves to an endless stream of depressed leftposting.

      I am not even an ally of these people at all, but I think there needs to be a distinction between a person and their national politics, lol.

      When Muslim Americans apologize for backwards policies in third world states or terror attacks, their voices are amplified and everyone rallies around them as the ‘true face of Islam’ or whatever we would call it.

      The Euroleft should return this for the American left. The fact that they aren’t is petty.

    Holy. The comments on the article are a dumpster fire. No surprise since it’s Breitbart but still a mess.
