    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!
