AdmiralPatrick is just some bigoted asshat having a public crash out and trying to DDOS a Lemmy instance. Donald Trump is leader of the AmeriKKKan state. As far as I'm aware, AdmiralPatrick is responsible for zero deaths. Trump is responsible for millions.

Trump is an unforgivable monster, and I honestly don't know how you could consider AdmiralPatrick comparable to Trump.

, and I honestly don’t know how you could consider AdmiralPatrick comparable to Trump.

In as much as I care to compare them, by the metric I posted above: patheticness.

Okay: still no. Trump is more pathetic by a country mile for the ballroom alone.

But Trump's not only known, or even primarily known, for being pathetic; he is a rapist, murderer, genocider, colonizer, and basically every other way of being monstrous invented by mankind. And you're kinda showing your ass when you say that "patheticness" is the way you want to compare Trump to other people.

You are severely overreading in an attempt to feel offended. Dude, that "culture" went out of vogue in 2019.

I said patheticness is the metric I'm comparing them in as much as I care to. In a subthread about, quite visibly and specifically, comparing them in terms of patheticness.

I'm not doubting Trump is more of a rapist and more of a genocider. Go look at my history, I'm about as critical of him as I like to. But I'm also not saying the List Guy would be somehow exempt from doing such things also if he had access to the same kind of overreach.

I'm not showing my ass. You are smelling yours, and blaming someone else when you find out it stinks.
