This week, two Bachelorette contestants, one of them munching on a raw sweet potato, tried to determine whether it’s worse to be a Hitler or a Donald Trump type of guy. Frankly, this is the only civics lesson you’ll ever need.

A quick note for the uninitiated. The two prime specimens featured above are Meathead Chad, on the left, and Daniel the Guy You Already Forgot Was On the Show, on the right. They are two men vying for the heart of a commercially attractive woman who rated highest on her season of The Bachelor, and, when that fails, the chance to hawk Fit Tea on their Instagram accounts. But it also turns out Chad is a bit of a dick who leaves pieces of meat around their shared house and threatens to punch the other contestants.

“Let’s just pretend you’re Hitler,” Daniel says in a half-hearted attempt to explain why he doesn’t want to hang out with Chad anymore. “If I’m friends with you...”

Chad, who is eating the raw potato, objects to the characterization.

“Or let’s say you’re Donald Trump,” Daniel says, trying another tack. “If I hang out with you, it’s going to make me look bad too, right?”

Now Chad is eating raw lettuce. He doesn’t speak.

“So let’s be not so much like Hitler,” Daniel concludes. “Maybe be more like Mussolini you know? Or Bush, right? Take it down a notch.”

Honestly—Daniel has a point.
