“Quite the contrast Lt Col Vindman is to the TFG’s presidency as Col Oliver North was to the Regan presidency.“ Wow, it’s taking me forever to figure this out. I finally got it. Vindman is a huge contrast to North. Because of the word “as,” that makes one jump to the knee-jerk conclusion you’re comparing them. *whew*
Vindman is a huge contrast to North. A refreshing contrast. An extreme contrast. Got it.
Thanks Roland, I'm not a professional writer, obviously! But I remember writing a lot of compare and contrasting papers way back when. The contrasting of people, events, issues, I always found to be better at learning and teaching than comparisons. I didn't think so many would misinterpret my meaning or intention. That alone is pretty interesting to me now.
Thanks Eric!
