    Denying the severity of a genocide is still genocide denial. People who say “oh the Holocaust happened but it didn’t kill nearly six million people” are still Holocaust deniers.

    You saying “oh sure, there was a genocide going on under Biden, but it wasn’t that bad, and Biden wasn’t part of it” is still genocide denial.

    Fuck you for trying to split hairs and get into the semantic weeds about a genocide.

      I haven’t denied the severity of it. Usually quite the opposite. It’s horrific and getting worse every day. I never said it wasn’t bad under biden, I have said it got worse under trump. Those are two VERY different statements. The first denies the severity at all, the second expresses that it’s severity is increasing. This is like english 101.

        I haven’t denied the severity of it.

        Two sentences later

        I have said it got worse under trump.

        So you did, in fact, explicitly deny the severity of it. The fact that you stopped doing it when your team was out of power is not an excuse
