I think it's time for you to decide if you need to be this emotionally invested in politics. The super invested are like soccer hooligans to most people. It's fun to a point but it's weird. Find something else to love.

+100. This is excellent advice and people really should take it to heart. Politics is not a sport nor should it really even be a hobby.

It’s all fun and games until your same-sex marriage is dissolved. Or you need reproductive care that’s denied. Or crops fail due to extreme heat waves. Federal policies have real world consequences.

Correct. And the country just told the Democratic Party that it’s policies are bad for our safety, health, pocketbook… basically everything. And now trump is bringing in people to turn over the rotting apple cart marriage of the Deep state and special interests. It’s awesome. So glad. And I’m a federal employee who witnesses the waste first hand every day. Cannot wait. No more political friends making a fortune selling DEI training to the government. No more FDA employees revolving door into big pharma and into feed additives. No more revolving door of defense contractors into DoD policy positions. No more hand outs to environmental start ups while ignoring real things that work that can help the environment. NO MORE buying votes via student loan hand outs. Your team is OUT!

Love it

Clinton is a better analog. Clinton was pure trash, top to bottom, who was inexplicably popular only because he pandered to his base's every irrational desire.

Bill Clinton?

He presided over the best economy in the last 50 years and other than a blow job, was probably the best president in anyone reading this lifetime.

Ok? Trump has been the best president by far this century. Two can play at that game.

Except only MAGA cultists feel that way. Not historians, or anyone familiar with facts and history

Over half the country felt he was good enough to put in office again and by the end of 4 yrs, it will be an even higher percentage of people in support of him and for the continuation of policies he has started

The Democrat griffin is up and they know it.

I was not able to file a police report in any of these cases, because no officers there to do it.

What did Obama do to cause cop hate in his first term?

He would cast blame on situations without all available information and that were totally opposite court outcomes. Treating more unrest and nasty violence amongst certain communities. Communities known for violence.
Bad leadership

Please provide a specific example from his first term.

He said the cop acted stupidly with Henry Louis Gates instead of saying Gates acted stupidly by forgetting his keys to his house and trying to barge in? He said the cop shouldn’t have arrested someone when shown id and they’re in front of their own home. That may have been true but Gates wasn’t arrested for breaking and entering. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. Cops can arrest you in your own home even in your living room or pajamas even if your conduct is seen as disorderly and just saying Get the f off my property is disorderly enough

This was early on in the administration and the comment offended so many people that Obama had to invite the cop and Gates over for a beer summit

I remember that. I think Obama handled it well with his "beer summit." The thing is when you're the first whatever--minority president, woman president, gay president, etc.--you're going to get even more scrutiny than a straight white male president. And when you straddle both races (remember he had a white mother and was raised by her and white grandparents), it's an even more fraught position to be in. He was damned if he did, damned if he didn't. The reason I think Republicans found him "divisive" is because deep down they found it a shock to the system to see a black man and his black family in the WH. I'm not saying they were racists--it just wasn't what they were used to their whole lives.

Obama was always judgmental and snobby imo not just to white people but to black people too. I was shocked when he said take off your slippers and put on your marching shoes at the Congressional Black Caucus.

Wtf?? He’s lucky he is likable and a man because a woman would never be able to get away with being that snarky.

I wouldn’t say he’s as vicious as Trump but Obama had made some very acerbic /dumb comments. He’s a typical Ivy League elitist and he thought his pivot to Asia getting frowned upon by Republicans was due to their own prejudice but now we see how China has really strengthened. Obama was seen as weak around the world because he wasn’t the typical hot blooded Amurican president who said we dominate and that’s that. He wanted to pivot to other regions and to become a multi polar world and leaders that exude strength just don’t do that.

I think liberal media ( or whatever you watch or read) is doing some serious damage to your mental health. I am not being snarky. Time to take a break?

people supported hitler as well. Does not make them on the right side of history

Also after 4 years of their lives not improving, many may become unlightened. Realizing that tariffs will cost us, the people, not the companies (they will just pass the prices on to consumers). When immigrants are too afraid to work (for fear of being sent to a detention camp even if they are legal) and our food supply is rotting and there is nobody to build your house or put on a new roof or any other construction work, they might realize the plans are not well thought out

Any democrat after Bush would have won. It should have been Hillary but the DNC took her MI and FL primary votes away from her. Gee, do we want the first black president or the first female president? Women having been doing power ever since that election.

I also think if the Dems had picked a man to replace Biden the outcome would be different.

No. Only mentally ill people have mental breakdowns over election outcomes. It has nothing to do with political affiliation.

No.

First term Obama was pretty moderate.

It was about 2014 when the left started going off the rails. That was around the time of the whole “hands up don’t shoot” media fabrication, fanning the flames of riots, and justifying them, all based on easily uncovereable lies. Most of the police shootings cases had totally warped coverage but that one set the precedent for what was to come.

Then Trump came on to scene and while he wasn’t my favorite, you all went nuts. Illegal wiretapping, fake dossiers, collusion hoaxes, lying on fisa warrants, insane media coverage, pretextual impeachments. Then covid lunacy and summer of love riots (more media and cultural lunacy about that), social media censorship (inc. govt agencies intervening), vaccine mandates, etc.

I won’t even get into the last four years because you all lost me in 2020 which is why fundamentally I didn’t really care about Jan 6 (let’s not even get into FBI agent provocateurs and unexplained pipe bombs and just assume the narrative is true). Because by that point if I’m going to live in a country with constant media lies, deep state actors breaking the law and never getting in trouble and social media censorship, I can see why people would start to go nuts.

We are in a different world now. And yes, Republican politicians and their base are *super pissed* about the way the last 10 years went down and ready to make sure it ends now.

Which will be good for the country in the long run but yes there will absolutely be some big shakeups (mass firings, dumps of declassified docs, new legislation) before that happens.

Completely agree. The left has no idea how bananas they’ve gone. They have no idea how many bridges they burned to get us to the place we are today where Republicans won all three and also the on the popular vote.

Not just won but won with the entire media against him and almost all corporate donations going to his opponent and while running a pretty hardline campaign where he SAID he was going to clean house in DC.

It’s not just that he won. It’s that he won after taking on basically the whole system and with the whole system throwing everything legal (and plenty illegal) they possibly could at him to boot.

A complete repudiation of business as usual.

+100 and it continues to baffle me how "shocked" they all are. I mean seriously. I voted for Harris knowing in my gut that Trump was going to win even though I'm in a solid blue NoVa County.

Trump is counting on people like you to look the other way as he moves us to autocracy. You can deny that by claiming people who recognize this are "emotionally invested in politics" like "soccer hooligans" but his plan is clear. He's been upfront about all of it. Trump apologists think he's making a joke.
