Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if Obama done any of this?

I don't know if we have enough perals in existence to clutch.

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.

Honestly, most indiscretions of past presidents feel silly or somewhat insignificant when compared to what Trump is doing regularly now.

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

Past presidents crawled so Trump could walk.

And painting Trump as absolute evil incarnate that popped out of nowhere ensures not addressing the structural conditions that made Trump possible

It is remarkable that so many are using the word 'unprecedented', as if they just slept through all the torture and fascism of the War on Terror. Also a little sickening watching self-identified liberals helping Dubya rehab his image and revise his history.
