Political leaning has got nothing to do with it. Obama actually seemed to care about humans. whereas Trump cares only about the money in his bank account.
But, again, the majority of American conservatives not only align themselves with MAGA, but actively support Trump and refuse to even acknowledge his wrongdoings. We can argue over whether MAGA is conservative (I would argue they are extremist conservatives), but at the end of the day, what matters for this conversation is whether conservatives support them, which they do for the most part.
Romney's Republican party is dead, I miss the days when Republicans actually had spines and didn't bow down to a wannabe fascist dictator Russian asset loyal to Israel. This timeline is the worst
I totally agree. He’s a moron on top of being corrupt, and I’m no fan of Bibi’s either, not by a long stretch. But that’s different than saying we shouldn’t be loyal to the country which is both our only true ally and the only westernized democracy in the region
what do you mean by “as well they should be” in regards to the country actively committing countless war crimes, general atrocities, and what many scholars would constitute as genocide?
Obama didn’t care about people unless they could do something for him. He had a great PR team and could speak extremely well. Hes done me everything the left complains about. Completely taking money from groups. Made millions off being the president. Did everything he could to help himself and his friends
He actually became a millionaire from his book sales, which, while related to his presidency and his electoral run, is actually just earned income from what most of us would consider to be a real job. He was a successful author.
If you think it’s not quid pro quo you are delusional. Look at Netflix. Guessing you were aware he gave them ambassadorships during his term as well as many others. Numerous FCC policies were changed as well to benefit them as well as other. Weird how that works. As for calling him an author he didn’t write anything. Someone else did just like every other major political “author”
MAGA in itself made me respect conservatives in an entirely different light. Before MAGA politics wasn’t that deep truly now because of that asshole Republicans look bad, conservatives look bad, Christians look bad, rich people allllll look bad, democrats look AWFUL, like MAGA in and of itself was the cancerous mole that spread and fucked everything up.
I’m a bartender in Las Vegas currently. My bar is filled with MAGA. I want to say, for myself, on a daily basis, the worst is the validation. At a surface level these MAGAs feel entitled to be sexist, racist, bigots… you name it. They have a voice. I’ve bartended across the country for 20 years. I’ve have never seen anything like this. Apparently they’re allowed to say the N word now openly. Trust me, I shut it down, but a majority of this has not been a problem before.
I hate it.
I have to disagree. I have quite a few conservative friends. People who hate that abortion is used as birth control, but also understand it is necessary healthcare. They want small government , with fewer handouts, but understand we have a responsibility to feed and educate our population. None of them voted for Trump. I believe we need competent conservatives. The problem is, at least in my experience is most(but definitely not all) conservatives, are just uneducated, and lack the “tools”, needed to figure out if what they are being fed is misinformation or not.
If you voted for Trump this time around and didnt want things to go this way, you are insanely naive, sorry to say.
Everything was way out in the open about what he would do and how he acts. The lying, corruption, crimes, temper tantrums, fascism, all of it.
He did all of it the first time around too and there was literally no reason to assume it would be different. He wasnt even trying to pretend it would.
If you voted for him again the second time, you voted FOR exactly what has happened with open eyes.
Glad you woke up from the kool-aid slumber, though, even if it was very late.

Everything.
Walking, breathing, talking, basic human things.
Then we can get into every single policy decision.
Obama was far from perfect, he made mistake, he did things I wouldn't have done, he didn't do things I would have.
But in every single way Obama is and was a better human not just President than Trump.
