What Trump posted with the cleaned image was also important (#America First). It was not just the star as you are still wrongly assuming. Just as you assumed that everyone knew where in a map was Greenland. 🙂 (post shortened, underline added) You still can’t find Greenland? That’s comes as quite a shock. :rolleyes: The original creator of the Hillary/money/6-pointed star meme didn’t seem to know what a Star of David looks like. The Nazis, and Nazis sympathizers, also chose to use a 6-pointed star (as well as many other symbols) to identify Jews. Any 6-pointed star would do. All good Nazis (in the late '30s, early '40s) would immediately know that. The meme was then reused/retweeted. The people who knew what a SOD looked like didn’t see the 6-pointed star = SOD connection. Others were kind enough to point out that even though the originator of the meme had fucked up and chose to use the wrong symbol, every one else must also jump to the incorrect conclusion that all 6-pointed stars must be a SOD. It just depends on how the meme is explained to them. As far as the retweet is concerned, a problem was identified, the problem was corrected. And the whining about it continues because - politics.
