    I love how people repeat this meme as if Obama’s record is somehow sacrosanct.

    We’ll just forget his kill list, his support of torture, his brutlization of Occupy, his militarization of the police, etc. etc. etc.

      They’re making fun of the fact that the Right completely lost their minds at Obama wearing a tan suit but ignore or applaud Trump pulling bullshit like this.

      What you’re talking about is actually a whole different conversation. One that should be had, yes, but not related to how the Right gives a massive pass to anything a Rich White Male does.

        Only if you don’t view them as the incremental steps toward fascism that they are.

        Past presidents crawled so Trump could walk.
