    No? I think the fact a child rapist has been allowed to be President is of greater concern than rising gas prices. That between the two gas prices are less important than the fact the child rapist hasn’t been excised from office and preferably killed in such a way as to set an example to the rest of the Epstein Class.

    Unless I fucked up that sentiment somehow in my previous post?

      I agree that the stuff about trump is more important than gas prices therefore i wanted to correct your first sentence. You meant it seems that people care more about gas prices than the child rapist in power. So you should have written “more”, not “less”, if you meant it the way you just explained.

        Okay no, you partially misunderstood/misread my comment. It was written more as a tongue in cheek reply to the Title. Another way to put the first of my original sentence is “K but (Gas Prices) somehow seems less important than…”

        I wrote it exactly how I meant it. If I replaced it with more not less it would read out “K but (Gas Prices) somehow seems more important than…” in which case I would be saying the exact opposite of what I mean.

        The Original version is correct.

      Ah, yes. Then yes, you did. Explanation tracks with your sentiment, but @seriousslayerguy@lemmy.world 's correction is what you want. Fully written out text you can spot which part of the comparison you took by mistake: somehow the gas prices seem more important news, while they should be less important than the child raping.

        Ahh, I see my tongue in cheek tone didn’t make it through in the first part of the sentence. Welp, it happens.
