He said "I love you" in order to connect emotionally with the crowd as part of a message to tell them to go home. It's also just how he speaks to his supporters. He's not telling them that his loves them for having stormed the capitol.

You are engaging in the most disingenuous interpretations of his words.

And there is no willful ingorance here. I know the things said by randos on r/thedonald can often be pretty horrendous. There are horrendous randos everywhere. Just look at r/politics.

The things people in power have said about Trump and his supporters is also quite terrible, and the fact that they have power makes it worse.

The ignorance is yours.
