    Because I’m not. I’m just not saying literally he’s a worse monster than tons of other monsters. But I do blame him for a lot of the terrible shit in USA society. And Tatcher for doing the same. They’re both awful. They are two of history’s greatest monsters.

      If there are a multitude of other monsters, then he is not one of history’s greatest monsters. You could probably name half a dozen more evil world leaders from the twentieth century alone. I was initially thinking of Hitler/Stalin, but honestly even people like Saddam are objectively worse people than Reagan and Thatcher.

      That’s just one century out of recorded history. It’s just an absolutely absurd statement.

        You’re not very good at interpreting internet comments. I already said it isn’t meant exactly literally. You know who else are some of history’s greatest monsters? Five hundred people who aren’t literally history’s greatest monsters. I’m done going back and forth with you. You either come at it in bad faith or don’t understand what I’m trying to convey.
