I do find issue with your capitalization, with Trump I find fault with his capitalization. Slight difference

Hitler introduced better protection for animals. I’m not going to say I like him, but I’m with him on this one.

He also gave up his inheritance to his single mother sister. Overall his bad dominated his good and he deserved a humiliating death like Mussolini or Gaddafi, but there was some good there.

Though it’s interesting that Trump’s “good” is a grammar preference. Trump isn’t more bad than Hitler but he might be less good.

Just because the man is capable of one good decision in his life, doesn’t mean he should run the country. Just sayin’.

Can we convince people to use the Oxford comma, if we spread that it’s anti-woke?

I think the implication is that people who are anti-woke are stupid so those are the ones you have to convince to use the Oxford comma since intelligent people already see the benefit.

Intelligent people avoid being redundant, though. The and/or is a substitute for the Oxford comma.

I think the implication might have been that stupid people will incorrectly use it overemphatically, not that he is against the comma itself, but i could be wrong
