In case you missed it, many other folks think that GW, Trump were worse. I think they are wrong, but they believe it as fervently as yourself the opposite.
""Simple question, when Obama was democratically elected and those who didn't like him, including myself, attacked him for his leadership were they paving the way for Hitler?
FYI, while it isn't my nature to post nonsense like that, you can all go back and look at the memes and such regarding how some on the 'right' viewed Obama, Michelle, even his kids. When asked about 'respect' it was, 'well he's earned this, they did it to GW!'
Personally I think those pictures or GW, Obama, Trump, and any family members really are more telling on those that post them than on their subjects.
Let's not pretend that it's only the 'left' though that disrespects those elected.""
In the quote above,the bolded and enlarged in the quote is primarily what led me to comment the way I did my friend. As to me, the comparison was made by you between obama and Trump, how each gets treated. However to me, it is not the matter that both sides do it.
It is the matter that the current rude, insulting discourse, anger, hatred, lies and etc. etc , etc. is by and large, so overblown , so vile, so evil and so filled with deepest depths of pure hatred that no truly meaningful comparison can be made in regards to how the obama was treated, IMHO.
It is to me as if you completely ignored that obama got the amount of disrespect that he and his actions earned, while such is not true with Trump, IMHO.
I get that both sides do it, but one side has now shown it is unhinged, with a foaming at the mouth hatred on a level not seen in modern times.
Even to the point of making up lies in an attempt to impeach trump, destroy people he has selected for government posts, etc.etc. By the way, obama's other half inserted herself and her ignorant leftist agenda politically many times, so derision of her was right on target and also fully justified, IMHO.-TYR
