    Don’t people ever wonder like me how people would react if Obama would post something like this in his term? I mean, talk about unhinged. Other world leaders look at this shit and be even more resolved to move on without the US. There will be a long, long time to even rebuild 20% of the trust.

    How can MAGA look at this and think ‘this is fine’?

      It’s all pretty easy to wrap your head around once you accept that they didn’t give a shit about Obama’s suits or condiments or even his words. He was black. Period. Everything else was manufactured outrage to try to get him out.

      Trump is objectively a worse person in every way. Except his skin colour. What would have happened if Obama said or did any of the shit Trump gets praised for (let alone gets away with…)? He’d have been lynched.

      America’s the shithole they project onto every other country.

      But that’s just the thing, this is the gutteral reaction to a well run presidency by a black man. Add to it the left swallowing the bait, hook, line, and sinker on the culture war (sorry folks, trans rights, while needed, do not make a platform) and corporate Democrats rolling over for money harder than Evel Knievel at Cedars Palace, and you have our present situation.
