No, I'm saying you're making a basic category error and ending up in the same dishonest position as the MAGA crowd happens to be the result. I guess it feels grander if you can say "diluting the language of the holocaust" than just disagreeing with the wording.

Ok, but it wasn’t ‘unwise’ if it was calculated, had the desired reaction etc. She’s not stupid. It’s debatable whether it was worth it. She obviously thought it was.
