You're smart enough to know that your generalization about a generalization is twice removed from reality. In other words, to put it politely, your comment is not true. Or, to be perfectly blunt, you're lying.

Broad brush statements are by their intrinsic nature, NOT MEANT TO INCLUDE every instance or every person, or every detail. If every person is meant, then the statement would have to specifically say EVERYBODY, or ALL, not merely refer to a broad segment, and thus it would not be a "broad brush" but particular and definitive.

But I understand your need to claim that Trump means all teachers are anti-American indoctrinators. It's what you must do, regardless of truth or accuracy, to get rid of Trump. The old ends justifying the means.

You use a similar technique of misstating Trump calling MS13 gang members animals as claiming that he said all illegal immigrants were animals. In this instance you go from the particular (MS13) equaling or defining the Broad (All illegal immigrants), thus inverting the broad brush meaning every detail type lie into the the specific detail defines the entire, broad category kind of lie.

It's all part of your broad repertoire of painting Trump as evil incarnate. And, yes, that is deplorable.
