Additionally, the problem isn't that he's not on the "right team" - it's that he's a hateful, dangerous pos that is an actual threat to many citizens and the country at large. But repubs have been screaming the same thing hyperbolically for multiple decades at this point, so now when it's a real issue, it gets swept under the rug as "sore losers". People are so fucking stupid.
It’s like the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" story, but with a twist: instead of the boy shouting about wolves, the wolves disguise themselves as townsfolk and keep shouting "wolf" so often that no one takes it seriously anymore. So when the boy finally cries out for help, no one listens.
Let's not forget the unprecedented amount of obstructionism from Republicans under Obama. They set several records for the use of the filibuster and filibustered more of Obama's nominees than literally all previous presidents' combined.

The (Hard R)epublicans made their opinions known.
“I hope he fails.” -Rush Limbaugh talking about Obama.
It’s lying or stupid to pretend that Republicans supported “Not My President” Obama in any way.
