“2020 is far, far worse than 1992 was”
Just on English usage, the hyperbole of “far, far worse” isn’t justified by your three, count them three, examples. Remember you aren’t saying it’s “worse” or “far worse”, but “far, far worse”.
I don’t do politics, so I don’t know to what you are referring to on these points.
1. So more than one former government employee made serious threats against the lives of current government officials. That is a serious offense. What law suits or law enforcement interventions arose? I don’t keep up on these things.
2. What is a “second amendment solution”? Where was it written in a Republican document I can read? Did it involve guns of some sort?
3. Challenging the results of an election is “unprecedented in modern history”? I assume you mean in this way, whatever that is. And what precisely is that way? What is unprecedented?
Most importantly, what is the difference between “far, far worse” and, say, “far, far, far worse”? You didn’t say “far, far, far worse”, so I’m guessing that means you think it’s really not so bad...
- bleepblorp 6y agoI'm not going to post a detailed recap of the past 30 years of American political history in a HN comment. All of your questions can be answered in a few minutes with sufficiently well crafted DDG/Google/Bing searches. If you are so far removed from US politics that you don't have the background knowledge to frame such queries, then it's unclear to me why you're replying at all.
