    at least Cheney respected the general societal rule of law and norms

    I am calm. I am balanced. I don’t want to fire anyone on Lemmy out of a giant cannon into the sun. There are emotions in my heart after reading this sentence other than hatred and anger.

    WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, NO HE FUCKING DIDN’T!

        In 10 years you’ll all either be saying the same things you say about Cheney about Trump or you’ll be screaming at the people who are. I stg, why do people feel this need to whitewash and rehabilitate the worst people on the planet just to emphasize how bad the current person is? Just say they’re both awful and leave it at that, there’s no need for this, “At least he was respectable” bullshit. Cheney broke countless rules and norms and was completely above the law. There were zero redeeming qualities about him, he was a fascist who directly paved the way for what’s happening now.

          Go back and read my actual comment then maybe. You seemed to just skip over whatever I actually said and made up a person in your own head to get mad at.

            You seem to think that I didn’t read the parts where you were critical of Cheney. I absolutely did. That doesn’t excuse the “at least he was respectable” part

              Try again. Where did I say “he was respectable”? That’s absolutely not what I said. Again I think you just want to mad at something so you make up random strawmen.

                but at least Cheney respected the general societal rule of law and norms.

                Which I paraphrased as saying he’s respectable, it’s all the same shit.

                  Learn to read, jabroni. It’s very much not the same. I said he respected the norms, you’re saying I respected him. Two completely different meanings.
