I have no problem with you disagreeing, I just think you are wrong. Reagan was very bad. Nixon too. But Trump is existentially catastrophic. One can reasonably differentiate them.

Trying and succeeding are two different things. But I see now you intended sarcasm, which often doesn't carry well online and results instead in confusion.

Thanks. Fair. The qualification makes it all a bit tautological, but fair. I think people comfortable in their "faith" are often happy to let others be, and to find their own way.
