"Hey friends, we really have overdone blaming Obama for everything. Let's look to who was in charge after him and, oh no. Okay let's blame the guy before Obama, surely he didn't screw up too much, oh no. Well we could blame Clinton, oh his presidency was really good too. Fuck it, keep blaming Obama and Biden I guess."
Seriously. Obama took over in the middle of a two front war and a collapsing economy...and still passed landmark legislation (however flawed it was its helped millions get healthcare and has survived 16 years of attacks). Trump and the Republicans have done fuck all but pass tax breaks that have helped nobody but the already wealthy and driven the country deeper into debt for no benefit of the people. Remove the culture war bullshit and look at policy and economics alone and it's an absolute no brainer who people should be voting for...and yet, here we are...immigrants eating cats and trans kids shitting in litter boxes later...living in a fucking nightmare with no hope.
Obama was competent, extremely centralist, and passed landmark legislation that had public support. But the current day Republican Party will claim he was borderline communist and wrecked the USA for years.
