    And in what way are America’s presidents unique in these atrocities among world leaders of their era? Other than “America Bad” is trendy right now?

      Don’t recall saying that child rape or slavery are unique to anyone, just that they are a worse affront to “good” than “perfection”. I’m against them in all their manifestations. Don’t really care who specifically tbh.

      But I’d also go so far as to say that just because “America bad” is trendy, doesn’t mean these child raping slavers are being unfairly targeted. Cuz you know, they did have slaves and diddled kids.

        And we’re paying special attention to American slave owning child diddlers who have been dead for 200 years and not British or Canadian or French or German or Russian slave owning child diddlers who have been dead for 200 years because…?

          OP is probably an American, it’s that simple.

          Be the change you want to see. Post memes about past politicians from other countries. I will upvote them.

          We as in me? Didn’t think I was. Even specified that I didn’t care about the specific “who”.

          We as in the royal we? I reckon because the post was making a point about not romanticizing past presidents in the face of our current super awful kiddy diddler and you took offense to the specificity?
