Carter devoted herself to several social causes in the course of her public life, including programs that supported health care resources, human rights, social justice and the needs of elderly people.
Statements like that in a modern context clearly are extremely timid. We don’t need people giving subtle insults to make themselves sound smart. We need people openly, honestly and directly calling out the fascism and possible genocide and treating it for what it is.
This is not about her or looking better. This is about the future of the country and in a very real way, humanity. It’s bigger than a battle of egos.

You are missing the point of the interaction this occurred in.
That particular user seems to spend a lot of time confused.
