IMO, Obama was a worse President than Trump. I don't like either, but I feel Obama did more to actually harm the country. Should I consider you insane for not sharing my opinion? You're rape analogy is a poor attempt to make it seem opinions are black and white. They're not, especially where politics are concerned.
I find this interesting.. This explains why you tend to pick at Democrats when there are some really crazy posts by Republicans that don't get the same treatment.
I guess I better get ready. I'm sure this will be considered a looney post, and I'll be picked at for my naive opinions...
This is not the thread to get into this, but here goes.
I know Obama wasn't popular here being a Republican board (Obama Derangement Syndrome?) but why do you think he harmed this country?
I always thought the guy was pretty chill (and still is). He and his wife usually lead popularity polls. (I know, polls) He was President when we got Bin Laden. He gave Trump a good economy.
I am no fan of Fox news, so I wonder why so many thought him divisive? I would guess being the first black President, he did bring a different perspective to the office. I felt like people were more comfortable to speak up about police brutality toward their race--which got a bit uncomfortable being a fan of police. That said, I also realize there are bad people everywhere, and perhaps I needed to open my mind. I also felt like the country was kinder towards people who were different. Gays were able to marry, which upsets some people, particularly if you think church and State shouldn't be separated and marriage should be one woman and one man. During Sandy Hook, he wept over the kids, which seemed to upset the Tea Party and conservatives who liked their guns. They felt he was putting on a show, but I always admired the way he was with children, and didn't find it far fetched that a person with any amount of feelings would weep during a speech about kindergarten kids getting killed.
Also, in the Republican presidential debates, they were talking about embracing the immigrant until Trump spoke up. (the rest is history)
OTOH, Trump? He doesn't seem to embrace anyone but his base, and even then he will turn if they criticize him (See Fox news) People are far more comfortable being racist, and sadly I've seen some people who I thought were my friends true colors, which saddens me.
I knew Trump was vindictive, long before he became President. Still, with the good economy, maybe if he had stayed off twitter and had more diplomacy and less hate, people would be more open toward him. Right now, I think he will lose the election due to the fact that people don't merely dislike him, they despise him. (See Hilary Clinton)
