[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a democrat and am depressed, feeling hopeless and angry. But is this what it felt like to the other side when Obama was president? B/c if it was, I can feel better. I remember conservatives crying bloody murder but obviously they survived it. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]
