    Can you quote the part of the post that claims the Democrats persecuted the students more than Trump persecutes the students?

    Edit: rereading the post, I see that there is a potential ambiguity similar to the ambiguity in your first sentence.

    The meaning of the post is the the democrats put more effort into putting down the protests than they put or are putting into putting down the current authoritarian rise to power.

    It didn’t mean that they put more effort into putting down the protests then the current authoritarian rise to power is or would put towards putting down the protests.

      The post is literally this and it’s false:

          It’s not remotely ambiguous, it’s a single sentence with three nouns in a specific order of events.

            Pretending that I didn’t give both interpretations in that edit.
