Same as your previous deflection, same low bar, that as long as someone else is weaker. This is called a bias, commonly held to be invisible to the holder of said bias.
No, that's not a bias. Let me explain how comparisons
normally work, at least, in cases where Democrats are not desperately hoping you don't compare Trump to Biden for fear it might make their side look bad.
It’s interesting that when we compare Trump favorably to PersonA (past president, etc), we're accused of "whataboutism"—as if drawing comparisons is somehow evasive or irrelevant. But in reality, comparison is the very foundation of how we assess quality, progress, and excellence in every area of life.
We don’t judge things in a vacuum. Whether it’s evaluating athletes, employees, or even products, we naturally compare. If we say a basketball player today is better than one from a decade ago, no one scoffs and says, “
It doesn’t matter what that player was like before—only focus on what you don’t like about this one.” No. We recognize that comparison provides context. It helps us measure improvement, appreciate strengths, and understand what’s changed for the better.
So when we highlight the ways in which Trump is the same, or better, or worse, than PersonA (Biden, Obama, etc) we're not avoiding a discussion—we're making an essential point: if progress matters, then so does recognizing when something is genuinely better. Ignoring comparison isn’t objectivity; it’s refusing to acknowledge the very process by which we evaluate anything at all...Stripping us, I'd say even, of the ability to evaluate in most all cases.
But I think you already knew all that. I'm just keeping my typing muscles strong.
