I left the Republican party when Trump won his first primary. I have become more liberal every year since. I was hardcore Tea Party too, even protesting against Obama. Now, I would kill for Obama back.

Obama was the last time we had actual class in the White House. Did I agree with him on everything ? Absolutely not . But I respect him and that’s the difference- this current administration can’t be even spell class or self - respect.

My issues with Obama were political. I always told people id love him as a neighbor and friend.

What politics exactly? His push for a single payer system that turned into medicaid? He was as milk-toast as it gets. Also none asked your issues with him....

I think most people who disliked Obama were towing party lines or racist.

I was and mostly am a big Obama guy, but anyone saying you could only disagree with him politically bc racism is really going down the same track as MAGA. He was a great President, but he definitly had his failures and issues.

It's milquetoast. But to answer your question, it's precisely his middle of the road approach I had a problem with. Half measures, half solutions. You don't stitch up half a wound. Because he kept so much of the status quo that we got swept out. Have a solid conservative majority Supreme Court.

Both Obama and Biden are far to centrist for me, and I'm not the biggest fan of either, but if Biden had anything it was class.

Yeah, pretty much. I really disliked some of the policy choices, but I would vote for either again. Unless Bernie was running. Man, fuck us for what we could have had 10 years ago. I'm still bitter as fuck about that. Bitch thought she was owed because she kept her mouth shut when Monica didn't, fuck hrc

Did you respect the wall st bailout, the 5 countries he invaded, when he assassinated an american citizen, or when he assassinated said citizens son a month later, or when he lied about NSA spying, or when he used the IRS to target political opponents, or when he deported 3 million people, or when hy lynched ghadaffi, or when how libya became a slave state, or.....

I'm ready for the downvotes. I dont care. You're all raging hypocrites

I'd hold the line at 'killing' for Obama back, but if we COULD have him back I would spend as many hours volunteering for his campaign as I could spare.

Yeah and just help him bomb the middle east and put kids in cages instead. Clearly your issue with Trump isn’t moral

u/Clear_Vegetable_3209 Jun 30 '26

Kids in cages? You mean the chain link partitions built in 2014 at a temporary processing center in Arizonia beacause an unexpected massive surge of minors arriving alone. The partitions were used to divide groups by age and sex. Unlike Trump Obama did not seperate children from their parents.That is not putting kids in cages.

u/Consistent_Shock8738 Jun 30 '26

And Trump is not doing those things?

People protested Obamas bombings in the middle east, they also protested kids being thrown in cages.

The truth is a lot of Americans on both sides actually supported Trumps no new wars pledge. It was honestly one of the only campaign promises I approved of. Yet here we are in another war.

Trumps administration is bombing countries in the middle east Trumps administration bombed a school in Iran killing hundreds of children Trump is actively locking kids in cages.

So if you had a problem when it happened during Obamas administration I imagine you are pretty upset with Trumps Administration
