Yes it’s a bad tree
The forest is much much worse
Focusing on a clown who doesn’t really have the power to move the needle a significant amount (and I REALLY wish some other clown was doing it) while not contextualizing that state is orders of magnitude worse seems targeted

It’s not a 1:1 comparison but there are many similar elements that a person who was concerned about NO citizens would want to consider
