He doesn’t trigger me so much as I find him to be the opposite of every man or woman I’ve ever found respectable.
Integrity is everything in this world and I see none of it in this man.
He’s a loser, plain and simple.
So Bush was more respectable but was responsible for more death and destruction right?

Hard to believe when the American president with most bombings in the world is Obama, not Trump.
reply
Everyone here is making huge assumptions about what I find respectable. Just because I don't like orange man doesn’t mean I like anyone else more. Don’t get caught in that mental trap.

The question is what makes Trump worse. I think the disagreement is mostly on where you place those wrongs vs. where others place them. Clearly people do not align there.
I remember being with people calling Obama weak, a closet muslim, and even the anti-christ. It was absurd. I remember conservatives saying he'd put people in camps. He's never leave office. He was destroying the military. Losing the war on terror.
In truth he was Bush 2.0 with better marketing. He won his position promising change but really what changed most was the words and sales pitch. He continued the worst policies of W.
I learned a lot about politics and people during this period. How people just mimic what the news source tells them. And how everyone cries wolf.
This is a large part of why I do not buy what is being said about Trump today. On top of the misquoting, out of context, and out right lying about him its just in alignment with my experience as someone who's paid attention since I was a pre-teen.

a closet muslim, and even the anti-christ.
this reaction from conservatives is because he was black-not based on something Obama actually said or did. As you mentioned, he's Bush 2.0 - the actual policies that were pushed by the Democrats weren't that indistinguishable from the Romney campaign.
the resistance was because someone conservatives viewed as 'lesser' was in charge, not policy.
in contrast:
He's never leave office
Trump refused to concede the election & had his supporters try to stop the count of votes in the capital.
reply
Trump did leave office before January 20, 2021
reply
yeah, but not because he thought that he needed to follow the law but because he didn't have support to stay.
the thing that Obama was accused of planning to do, Trump actually tried.
If people were 'crying wolf' when it was suggested that Obama might not want to leave office peacefully, what should the response be when Trump asked his supporters to stop the count of electoral votes in the Capitol Building?

Trump actually left DC once his term ended. Barry still owns a house in DC.
No other ex president since Woodrow Wilson has stayed in DC except Barry.
When is Obama going to come out of the closet?

Not without kicking and screaming, and not before getting his supporters killed trying to reinstate him. pretty sure that's a presidential first.

The fact that Obama owns a home in DC is not relevant unless you think black people owning homes in wealthy areas is a problem. Why do you believe that black people owning homes in DC is an issue?
When is Obama going to come out of the closet?
a closet muslim, and even the anti-christ
and we're back to the bullshit. instead of attacking actual policy, the core opposition is to who Obama is vs what they did
reply
Barry owns a house in DC because he is the puppet master for Biden.
Most ex presidents want to leave politics but not Barry.
I don’t have a problem with blacks owning houses. Much better than section 8 public housing which is problematic but you and I digress
I never said Barry was a closet Muslim but he did celebrate Ramadan at the White House. A presidential first and hopefully the last Ramadan celebration at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

Integrity is absent in DC and politics in general
Politicians are Machiavellian and narcissistic. The dark triad.

See, this is what is so obvious to anyone that pulls themself out of the matrix. But so many can't see it. They only see it in their opposition. Not in their "team". Its really all in the incentives. Bitcoin is a good tool to understanding this.

Local and state governments affect my life more and my local choices are also depressing
reply
The main affect on most Americans lives both positive and negative are their personal choices. Not those of these clowns in office. But see if I promise to fix all your problems if you check a box that sounds really good doesn't it?
