    That’s just one more interpretation to add to the ones I mentioned.

    Which is fundamentally my point. Had the OP used something that is actually happening then it would be harder to interpret the message in unintended ways. And it would be much more readily accepted by Americans like myself who do not see themselves as evil, stupid, malicious, or any of the other insults that necessarily follow from any interpretation the OP.

      Had the OP used something that is actually happening, it would be easy for Americans to interpret the message in unintended ways. Because the Americans could talk themselves into thinking it isn’t saying that American lawmakers are evil.
