Why is that the metric?

Comparing the current president with their predecessor in charge does not seem unreasonable.

  • I'd rather the systems of thought control be built on logic and values, some greater purpose, rather than some line drawn in the sand based on some American partisan signal. But I guess this whole thing will forever be political.

    • I don't think that was a political line. It was a line between this president and all past presidents regardless of political party.

      The logic/value in this case is, speak clearly and own your words. For example, if many people think you implied a subset of the population should be shot, you may have misspoken and should clarify it, not get mad at them, dismiss them, or even worse, double down.
