"Yeah I was all for Obama until he put on that tan suit"

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.

Yeah, like - who was the lead spokesman for the whole "Birther" conspiracy?

Yeah, the guy you're standing behind.

They're STILL not over it. What a crock.

I literally to this day hear redneck chucklefucks whining about Obama.

When Trump lost in 2020 he abused every possible thing he could to try and hold onto power including a (thankfully) unsuccessful coup attempt.

This is American, here you respect result on free election. So you don't, for instance, start a huge riot with the goal of overturning the election, 14 days before the inauguration of the new president, supporting the movement to hang your VP and attacking the US capitol.

Aaaahahahaahhahha that’s a good one. Just like they stood behind Joe Biden and didn’t tell everyone to fuck Biden or kill him…

Doesn’t matter. It’s not an equal playing field. She can lie and no one who cares will change anyone's mind.

Opposing parties have never been happy about newly elected presidents.
