I agree Melania can be seen as a passive participant. I never objected to you being critical of her. Instead, my issue was with the reason you gave, which compares survivors of sexual abuse to an embodiment of evil. That comparison is deeply offensive to people who were abused. Calling my response “virtue signaling” misreads me: I genuinely found your message hurtful.
And you're entitled to how you feel and I am sorry it hurt you. I was being facetious ONLY because it's someone as evil as the rest. Remember "I don't really care, do you".
