Even if that was true, there's no need to apply a dictionary to two words of my text, all the while ignoring the rest of it. I'm telling you what the intended meaning is.

You didn't say any of this until after I heavily criticized you, and you can't blame me when you seemed to be apologizing for one of the worst dictators. Your gaslighting isn't helping you.
