I think this is what makes me angriest about Trump supporters…

Their open, obvious HYPOCRISY
and Mr. Obama is right, they would be absolutely outraged if probably anyone, but especially if he had trashed our rule of law the way Trump does on a regular basis. 🤨

He was a president who could, and who still can, inspire my sense of patriotic pride.

@bijouxbroussard No I understood you and you are right, as a racial minorty democrat the US news corps would have been organising and inciting riots

I agree 100% with everything he says in this clip. What's happening now is awful.

Btw, on another note, have you watched the Netflix series, "Our Oceans" narrated by him? It's awesome and he did such a good job. I would put his narration on par with Tom Hanks' narration in "The Americas".
@sarabee1995 No, I don’t have Netflix. 😭

@bijouxbroussard It's worth paying one month and then cancelling (if you like nature shows). 🙂
Hypocrisy for Trumpists doesn't really seem to mean the same thing as it does to other people.

Whatever principles they may have all seem to revolve around themselves and should only apply as a limitation on others and not themselves.

If Obama did something bad, that's a reason why Trump shouldn't be held accountable, but I really think that sociopathy is so built into MAGA that they can't or won't abide by rules for the common good out of any principle or long term interest in humanity.

Right or wrong doesnt seem to register as much as what can you get away with, and how can you make sure others can't.

Exactly. It's so upsetting that the bigots have the right-of-way in this country. No one wants a civil war but is that what it's gonna take to end this era?

@TryingtoLava I'm wondering the same thing. I'm looking for signs of a revolt. I feel ashamed for not putting my neck on the line first. We should be resisting on a much higher level. Is everyone too scared, like me?
@seaglass when the dollar is broken i think itll ignite a revolt but by then itll be too late so then what? Like what happens when our money means nothing cuz they go to the gold standard? We didnt ask to be this young right now like we have to see ALL of this play out its only been 6 months of trump 3 1/2 years left IF we get elections

@TryingtoLava The only thing on our side is his age and mid-term elections, hopefully. I feel like his own base could string him up in barbed wire once the self-inflicted world recession takes hold. The rich will be the last to feel the sting but they will feel it, eventually. He's wasting all our lives with his hate parade. It doesn't matter to him at all. This is his Hail Mary tour.
faaaaaantastic you know an administration can only oppress every generation under it for so long until they rise up and fight back i think republican baby boomers have forgotten the millennials gen X and soon enough gen Z its prob not the best political move right after biden was giving loan forgiveness but i think seaglass was right trump is kinda going all in and pulling a hail mary like putin did

Apart from escalating a war when he should have de-escalated he was a very good president. Much better than Trump... although anyone would be. His oration skill was impressive.

@AnnaBunny
I gave him a good review. Nobody cared about that.

It tool you 20 seconds to read an NYT analysis that takes at least 30 minutes to read? Or is it your own analysis? Love the fake accounts. 🤣

As usual he is right ...but what do we do about it?
@TryingtoLava I wish I knew.
It really is a jaw-dropping paradox, how rightwingers have behaved since 2016, if you take them at the word for what their pre-2016 values are, rather than looking instead at how various rightwingers since then like Utah Rep. Mike Lee have openly expressed their desire for things like minority rule instead of democracy.

So either it is hypocrisy if they truly wanted to be the party of "law and order" as they've so often blown about since, when, like the Nixon era maybe? Or it is not hypocrisy at all because they've never wanted law and order, they've just wanted a Christofascist order shoved down the throats of everyone, whether the rest of us like it or not.

Maybe just maybe when Trump makes it so he can run a 3rd term, Obama will just say "well alright then" and then just smoke him in the polls.
@Starcrossed youre assuming he will allow himself to be run against
@TryingtoLava It’s true, didn’t he say something about the American people never having to vote again ? 🙁
@bijouxbroussard vote for me fellow christians the next elections will be fixed was the line
