    But none have been openly this evil.

    https://www.cfr.org/blog/obamas-final-drone-strike-data

    The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. As he reportedly told senior aides in 2011: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”

    Americans are fucking delusional about their governments.

      Deleted my last one as it was just confrontational as I was in a rush to post it

      Yes, Obama did some evil things. Yes, every US president has done evil things. Some a lot worse than others. Thats not new information.

      But to throw out Obamas numbers as if they’re the worse ones is egregious. Yes, he had a lot of civilian casualties. But Trump was literally getting so many civilians deaths he had Obamas rule to report civilian drone deaths repealed. but even with that repealed his have been atleast cofirmed doublenumbers of Obamas and upwards oh 10x as much.

      But moving past that, you cherry picked your argument. The point you chopped up was about a US president being openly evil towards his OWN civilians. So you’re not only wrong, but youre also wrong about something that wasn’t even part of the argument.
