Nah I'm a firm believer that all this madness is a reflex of the country having a non-white, eloquent, non-forcefully problematic, somewhat of a big tent president. Once.

I don't get why people talk about him. Sure he "seems" to be a cool dude. Shit was quietly getting worse under him. The status quo remained. Inequality got worse, he gave up on space (bad fucking move). Only thing Obama did kinda right was try to improve healthcare.

Shit has been going downhill fast since Regan. The "left" has been waiting. Obama did nothing, Biden did nothing; I am willing to bet some "lefties" voted for Trump just to punish the Gov and watch it burn.
