It means I think everyone else is an asshole.

I might be too, but I don't think I am.

Yeah, ive always taken it to mean "we could live in a better world but the likes of Donald Trump exist".

We ALL get to be the asshole at one time or another, which you've glossed over.

I didnt gloss over anything. Its just a matter of how you interpret what ive said.

You've argued that assholes are individuals, instead of all of us.

Don't be disingenuous.

Of course we can all be arseholes at some point. I think youre just getting hung up on the fact that i chose someone rich/famous as an example.

It's kind of funny that because most of us are nice, no one just beat the shit out of trump or worse. Assholes are kind of like parasites taking advantage of kindness.
