Once the day-to-day politics are not a factor, lots of people will say that, in retrospect, they never really LIKED Trump, but he was better than the Dems (or some such).
The GOP will have to essentially disown him or fade into irrelevance.
I don't agree with Trump wanting to bring in foreign Tech workers

Even Nixon still had approval in the twenties when he was about to be impeached and resigned.
They will blame the MSM, the deep state, and the libs.
Pretty much all the rhetoric and behavior we saw and heard from the Right during the Obama years has been replicated by the Left under Trump:
1. Rooting for economic malaise. They'll deny it of course, but it's manifestly clear that they'd like it. Some admit it.
2. Catastrophizing. Just like under Obama, we're this close...this close...to the end of America as we know it. Heck, he (Obama/Trump) may have ruined it already.
3. "Why can't you stupid people see what's good for you?!?" Summed up the rhetoric and attitude of the Right after Obama's elections and the rhetoric and attitude from the Left after Trump's election.
4. Everything Obama/Trump does is something unprecedented. Some unprecedented power grab which means Obama/Trump is a dictator. Heck, Trump might not voluntarily leave office if he loses.
5. Perpetual cries for impeachment.
We can go on.

Doing so diminishes your credibility and places you in the “crazy” bucket.
Those who thought Obama was “the worst President ever” thought so for all the wrong reasons.
Those who believe that Trump has disgraced the office and is an existential threat to America, are on solid footing.

He shared his view that the Left is acting the same hysterical way under Trump as the Right acted under Obama, and that Conor is somehow being a hypocrite about it. But that only makes sense if one assumes Obama and Trump are basically just as bad as each other.
While I don't think I engage in the behaviors MAS listed, it is certainly more justified to do so under Trump. Not because he is a Republican, but because he is Trump.
Similar hysteria with Bill Clinton. And Dubya. The same with Ronald Reagan. It's what partisan hacks do. Yes, Conor is no different than the people he scorns here. Yes, he is a hypocrite. Yes, he is a partisan hack. Yes, the parallels, in general, are unmistakable unless you choose to put on the blinders. Hello, Mr. Blind. No, Trump has not proven to be any more an "existential threat" than Obama, Clinton, et al.

But, I do think it will get worse with each transition of power, while both sides run up the debt, so that we are unable to handle the next great crisis. We shall see.
I happened to think Barry was quite poor. I also think he tended to be divisive and power grabbing.
Orange is much worse. He’s much more of an embarrassment than Barry and much less temperamentally, emotionally, and judgmentally qualified for the job.
What happens when the true believers pick the winners.
I'm as good a golfer as Tiger Woods. Don't ever fall for MAS's normalizing bullshit arguments. Yes, Obama was not a perfect uniter. But the difference between Obama's uniting skills and Trump's are night and day.
especially with the police.
Simply because Orange is much worse doesn’t excuse it. Remember the little event in Ferguson? He wasn't exactly a healer.
By the way, I said this when Barry was prez. Nuttin to do with MAS.
I admitted he was not a perfect uniter. As far as "playing the race card", of course he did. He was the first African American president, he needed to be proud of his blackness, not colorblind to it.
That said, I didn't feel like Obama had any animosity toward me, or encouraged it, because I was white. Even during the Ferguson riots.
remains. We have gone from someone who turned out to be divisive, and one who liked executive power to someone who is literally ripping the nation apart, and who like to rule an authoritarian if he could do so.

Obama's "divisiveness" is a fiction created by Fox News gaslighting. If people hear it over and over, they will start to believe it. It's easy to say and a conveniently unprovable assertion. It is a lot more palatable to reluctant Trump supporters than the alternative theory.

He had his version of "deplorables" comments, and he talked about encouraging races of people to punish other races, "their enemies." I could go on, but I don't care enough right now (and I'm moving a kid to college today, so I will be signing off).
I suspect you paid attention to Obama's worst comments the same way I pay attention to Trump's worst comments, which is to say very little. Obama would have a good sound bite, but then he would have an opposite sound bite, and you likely only heard the good one.
I'm not saying Obama was worse than Trump. I'm not comparing them. And, I'm not even saying he was the most important factor. (I think the most important factor was the Dems abandoning the working union member.) I'm just saying Obama was divisive (not to you, but to others), and that contributed to the rise of Donald Trump. He was A factor. He was a unifier when he got elected, but he did not govern that way.
helped create Trump.
FOX TV has tons of them - why not post those.
Why not just say - a fair westerly wind in the Atlantic created slavery in the US.
