Oh thanks for schooling me on figures of speech, completely missing the point of my comment.
You know sir, you are a man. Just like Trump, Jeffrey dahmer and Hitler. Just saying, food for thought out there. Being very smart here, don’t get upset at my simile if you can.
We didn't miss the point of your comment. We thought it was stupid, and his comparison was to highlight why.
why would anyone get upset that you're bad at language?
despite your sarcastic remark, your attempt once again shows you don't understand how these figures of speech work. your simile doesn't work the same way because Russia is a good example of an oligarchy, and apple is a good example of a fruit. but mangolini, dahmer and hitler aren't good examples of men.
so a better example would be more like "donnie is a fascist, like hitler". hitler is a proper example for a fascist, but the sentence still doesn't mean he's literally the same as hitler with no differences whatsoever.
For one, Trump doesn't like dogs. For another, Hitler never had access to a nuclear arsenal.
Yeah but who in the world would like to live in Russia?
The USA isn't at Russias level like at all.
Lots of problems for sure, but lets not try to prop up Dictatorship Russia to the, admittedly low level of the USA.
One of these things is not like the other. Can you tell which one?
