Something to think about.
1 2018-06-27 by klmd
Many Americans hated Obama as much as the liberals hate Trump. For 8 years republicans put up with him. They didn't organize protest, start riots, throw hissy fits or anything. Especially, they didn't shit all over their own reputations. Before they can govern a country they have to be able to govern themselves. The republicans showed restraint for all 8 years and now the republicans will have to show restraint for decades to come. It's the liberals own damn fault. Get over it, get a life, get a job before the good ones are all taken.

Surely you’re joking...

Weren't the radio guys calling for revolutions and isn't that when the Tea Party Rebellion was born?
1 klmd 2018-06-27
Serious as a hear attack.
1 BrettLefty 2018-06-27
No one has thrown more of a shit fit than Republicans during Obama's two terms.

Where's the conspiracy?
1 klmd 2018-06-27
Overthrowing a president who won fair and square is not conspiracy?
1 Lowbrowunibrow 2018-06-27
Please. The premise of this post is completely disingenuous. To claim republicans never once protested while Obama was in office is an outright lie.

This post serves as nothing but partisan bullshit.
1 klmd 2018-06-27
No, it serves as something to think about. I'm sure we will all feel better after the midterms.
1 Lowbrowunibrow 2018-06-27
Are you not going to address the fact you're outright spreading lies?

People have to be liberal to hate Trump. A guy from New York who played a rich asshole on TV? A close personal friend of the Clintons? The guy who hasn't brought the troops home or lowered my taxes, or ended the drug war, or stopped civil forfeiture? Yeah, fuck that guy. And fuck the lot of 'em supporting this permanent war.
1 tamrix 2018-06-27
What did Obama do again?
1 elcad 2018-06-27
I think "the lot of 'em" covers most everyone. But OK I play along did Obama take all the guns and sent us to the FEMA camps? No I don't think that happened. Invade Iraq? No I think only guys named Bush do that. But yes Obama has most of the negatives I listed for Trump, except being from New York. Not that I have anything against New York outside of the Yankees. And I don't hate them completely, since their greatest star is a hometown hero.
Neither party is bringing the troops home. Ever. As long as everyone stays in their red and blue pens, they ain't going anywhere.

Do a quick Google search of abortion protests, gay marriage protests, 2nd ammendment advocates, the glenn beck rally, obamacare protests, etc. Its genuinely hilarious if you think conservatives were super polite and sat on their hands for 8 years while Obama was in office.
1 Britt121 2018-06-27
There were definitely protests but the ridiculousness is off the charts with some of these people. Protests are natural and expected but shooting Congressmen (Scalise) is not. Obama's press secretary was never tossed out of a business.
I strongly disliked Obama but wished him and the country the best. I did not vote for Trump nor Obama (I'm a Ron Paul person) and I definitely don't agree with him on a lot of things but damn, I know people who are losing their minds, cutting off friends for voting for Trump. I have former students had their homes vandalized because they had Trump signs in their yard. I know anti Trump extremists that try to socially shame pro Trump students and professionals via doxxing and harassment. I never witnessed this shit happening among friends/acquaintances during Bush or Obama.
I don't see it as simply a liberal thing. The media absolutely hates him and doesn't hide it. There is plenty to criticize him (and all our leaders) on but damn, shit it ridiculous. I don't agree with him on everything but I want him and our country do improve- we have so many problems and it's awful to have to hide being proud of something significant like the North Korea thing because people are unhinged. People and media were not this ridiculous during obama. I can't talk with my father in law because he thinks Trump is literally hitler- simply mentioning his name transforms the mood- it's weird.

I think what people dont realize is it's also the guy. Hes basically trolling over half the nation every day or so. Hes saying super controversial shit almost all the time. He does a really good job at keeping his fans cheering and his opposition outraged. It's like his entire persona is playing a bad guy from the WWE.

You get an upvote for voting for Ron Paul!!
1 ogrelin 2018-06-27
The mainstream media isn’t “reporting” anymore. It’s now printed outrage and opinion pieces. “This is my opinion and it should be yours, too!”
1 Shiny-And-New 2018-06-27
Satire?
1 __sam_sepiol 2018-06-27
Genuine question: How old were you for the 8 years of Obama's presidency? How much did you follow politics and current events?
1 DonnaGail 2018-06-27
I'm not OP, but I'm 50. I didn't like Obama, but I acted like a mature adult for 8 years.
1 DoobieHauserMC 2018-06-27
That’s great of you, but a huge number of people did anything but that
1 DonnaGail 2018-06-27
We never had violence like Antifa during the Obama years.
1 klmd 2018-06-27
I was born in 1950. Yes I kept up with politics all my life. Snowflake is too kind a word for the petulant children who don't how to lose.
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
Idiotic is too kind a word for the emotionally driven and incompetant adults that think governing of a nation is a game of winning or losing.
1 bBAMEr 2018-06-27
The left is not RIGHT
1 SlipperySkeet 2018-06-27
Who the hell cares. I dont even necessarily disagree with you but talking about partisan stuff is dumb
1 DonnaGail 2018-06-27
Well said!
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
This entire post is objectively false. Republicans were, and STILL are in a constant state of chaos and alarm.
1 klmd 2018-06-27
No, we are lovin every minute of it.
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
Loving every minute of what? You make the point very clear here. This is about personal feelings you have, that made you feel inferior, and you attempt to use baiting tactics and protests to put a bandaid on those feelings. The truth is that you are sending American jobs overseas, incurring incredible taxes on what would be free trade, eliminating protections against nuclear weaponization by those who wish us harm, and slowly crippling the already overburdened American economy because your feelings were hurt. Fuck your feelings mate.
I'm glad you enjoy it, but if you had half a brain you'd realize you are the one being played. Your own crisis made you look like a wounded baby deer, lost and afraid, and you've walked right into their trap - too stupid to even realize you were the prey all along.
1 klmd 2018-06-27
Wounded feelings has nothing to do with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/8umbb3/womp_womp/ This does.
If we are really lucky Obamas debts will be paid off under Trump.
Other than that you have no idea what you are talking about, just a bunch of words without any source of knowledge to back them up. Get over it, get a life, and get a job.

Wounded feelings is all of it. You are not really lucky. I have a job and a life. You can't even begin to counter the claims I made because you know they are correct, therefore you immediately jump to trying to hurt other peoples feelings in the same way your feelings were hurt. I'm just not emotionally driven in the same way you are. I'm driven by the objective reality.
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
Oddly enough, you sound no different then the reaction people give when they start selling products in a pyramid multi-level marketing scheme. You say, dont fret the details, because youre loving every minute! But despite the fact that your close friends wont say it, everyone knows youre only doing it because you are desperate.
1 klmd 2018-06-27
I'm semi retired with no debts.
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
And no understanding of my implication.
1 klmd 2018-06-27
Nothing relevant to be understood.
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
See how desperate you are? You have no ability to begin to defend the policy, or complete lack of policy, of this administration. You likely dont even understand it. You just want to say that you are loving it in the same way someone would try to pretend that their feelings arent hurt by saying "I'm fine!"
1 MAATinGOLD 2018-06-27
I'm assuming by loving every minute of it you mean that you love it when your president calls out the free presa as the enemy of the people and white conservatives force their way into business centers and gun down journalists, killing them outright. Isnt that what you fucking mean? You LOVE THAT DONT YOU. You love watching people getting brutally murdered in their place of work just because you dont want anyone to be able to say anything you don't like about the president. Just say that instead because thats precisely what you mean and everyone knows it. You love watching Americans die at the command of the president.

During the reign of Trump, I do not observe any changes. Is it true that Trump is a vegetarian?
