      Oh, I know what assholes these guys were. Still, did they fuck kids with Trump and Epstein?

        Open a god damn history book, holy shit dude. We probably have like 3, maybe 5 presidents total who weren’t pedophiles… absolute best case scenario. You’re whitewashing history just like maga do.

          Okay so it was intended to be snarky sarcasm more than whitewashing anything, but it’s hard to get that across without spelling out my every intention.

          The instant snap judgements thrown by everyone and assumptions about viewpointints and intentions on the internet are exhausting.

            Where did I make any assumptions about your viewpoints or intentions? Judgement, sure I “judged” the comment to be factually incorrect and potentially misleading for others reading it…which is objectively true so idk what you’re getting at there.

              You said I am whitewashing history like maga does. It is right in your post. That expresses an assumption of an intent to do so. As I said, this was an offhanded stupid comment that really wasn’t intended to spark any kind of stupid debate. I am far from supporting any of the current regime and far from trying to paint some PragerU vision of history, but it sure seems like you assumed I was.

              I hope you have a great rest of your day.

                That does not express intent it describes the action you were doing… literally all I said was that you were minimizing the actions of individuals in the past in the same way that maga does, as that is effectively what your comment did. I did not project intention onto your comment or insinuate that you are some horrible person.

                Thanks, you have a great day too!

        You could’ve ended that question with the word “kids”, and I kind of wonder why you didn’t. The answer is “Of course not, because nobody has a time machine”.
