Nope.

Just saying language is important.

If I publicly said 'every conservative Americans wants a king,' rather than something like 'every maga supporter wants a king...'

Well, the first statement just pushes idiots cotes to trump (and considering the American education system, well it has it's gaps, shall we say...)

You Are just handing him votes, AND saying something incorrect on the surface.

Of course there is nuance, and you should be able to talk with hyperbole and fun rhetoric....

But if it's handing them votes.... Cos they don't understand hyperbole... Then what is your actual goal here.

Ah you're not an American, suffice to say things are complicated here and I'm not "handing anyone votes" by calling the Republican party liars and thieves. Anyone who pretends I am would've never voted against that party anyway.

I have lived there... As I said.

You did it again. Republicans aren't thieves and liars. But anyone who supports trump is. (Which is absolutely what's important right not. I hope you remember that at some point.)

What would you call a group of people who willingly support proven corrupt liars and thieves?

Where are these mythological people who oppose Trump? We've seen any internal opposition be primaried out or bend the knee to him so yes, if you still stand by the Republican party I'll absolutely call you a fucking moron.
