    Why does the comparison make you angry?

    Is it for literary reasons, meaning OP should learn how to use a simile correctly?

    Is it for personal reasons, which are only known to you?

    Is it for political reasons?

      A smile? Was the post supposed to be ironic and I missed it? If so I’m relieved.

      I’m not angry, I’m just appalled at the stupidity of even comparing USA and Russia on the basis of rich people having power, as if that’s something of a novelty rather than how societies have been for the past few millennia.

      Not saying it’s fair or anything, just that it’s a stupid argument.

      Let’s all hate on RuPaul’s drag race! They put so much effort in how they dress, like you know who else? THE NAZIS

        SIMILE note the first “i”. It’s a literary device which compares two things. I’m guessing this wasn’t what upset you?

          Ah, misread. Sorry, I’m tired.

          By all means, do all the similes you want. This one is as stupid as my RuPaul one though, so please don’t be upset if you get called out.
