And how awful it is that Democrats are insulting Trump.
:smack:
Fuck these people. I just don’t have the time or patience for that crap anymore.
Do you have any citations for that? Not being snarky; I’d just like to see where that stupidity is coming from.
Just spent some time on a friend’s FB page where both he and another friend were moaning about how the Democrats are insulting Trump and claiming that the Republicans never treated Obama that way. :rolleyes:
Moron FoF demands citations for my claims, dismisses them, claims “most” Democrats and even Obama support rioting, can’t provide any citations for this at all, continues to claim it and then says my eyes are closed because I didn’t believe him. :smack::smack::smack:
Another friend had told me yesterday that one of his oldest friends (in an IRL conversation) was making this claim as well.
I’d bet money some Right wing media people are pushing the idea and their base is eating it up and repeating it.
Just a few years ago, the Right was constrained by the belief that they’d pay a price for outright lying.
Then they realized this was not the case.
Et voila.
Well, the media surrey trump put out seems to imply that Repubs never treated Obama badly, and if they had, surely the media would have called that out, the way they are not calling Democrats treating Trump badly.
Sorry if that’s a little hard to parse.
Here’s the actual question:
Do you believe that if Republicans were obstructing Obama like Democrats are doing to President Trump, the mainstream media would attack Republicans?
Really. They did plenty of it. Verbally, and in print.
Gotta love when you can forensically trace a lie back to the very Dickheads who lit the fuse. 
Yep. That’s pretty much the way I feel.
Maybe the thought was that, as a black man, Obama was too far beneath them to be insulted.
It’s possible that by that standard, they were showing him respect.
(Not entirely tongue-in-cheek)
I dunno, some of the insults were extremely racist.
It’s the Internet, where every ugly thing lives forever… so samples abound.
The variation I’ve heard is that liberals need to shut up because they suffered under Obama for eight years.
This is your cite that the new thing is to claim that the Republicans never insulted Obama? A couple of guys on your friend’s FB page? Are you fucking kidding me? I’d lay good money that no mainstream Republican source has ever claimed any such thing.
Are you so desperate to smear Republicans that you need to post dumb shit like this? There’s enough legitimate stuff out there to attack them on without putting up ridiculous claims such as this.
Republicans also moan that Dems are really not nice for obstructing Trump, when they NEVER EVER did so for Obama.
I read that and instantly saw the back of my own skull, I eyerolled so hard.
I’ll take your LOL mhendo, and raise it a BWAHAHAHA.
IOW aldiboronti are you fucking kidding me?
Maybe they figure that game is up, time to adapt and adopt. Maybe they figure that with an absolutely solid base of dedicated voters, a bit of gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics, they can hammer together a machine that gets them re-elected.
Such a strategy would depend that their base remains unified and energized, and the portion of the population that remained uninterested did not change, they can work the mechanics of politics so that a minority can dominate. They will depend on the Apathy Party to maintain its grip on roughly 40% of eligible population.
'Course, maybe trying to discern their strategic planning is kinda dumb if they don’t actually have one, if they are improvising, making it up as they go along.
That would actually be kinda useful if, say, you had a fracture to the back of your skull and you were alone and needed to know where to screw the metal plate to hold your skull together. So there’s that.
There you go, America. Another solid demonstration of just how profoundly stupid Trump fans are.
Anyone in this thread is a goddamn liar, an incompetent idiot, and a flaming asshole if they ever claim that I’ve insulted them.
That’s not the same as your thread title. IMHO neither side has much - if any - credit.
