you’re mixing up trump’s eventual misdeeds with the fact that the usa has undergone a massive transformation towards the right under the eight years of obama.

i’m talking about the seeds which were sown, you’re talking about the harvest which followed. these are two separate things.

each of your assertions have flourished under the manure of the obama tenure – even if they didn’t happen during his presidency.

but, sure. live in denial and give him a pass. just don’t moan when history repeats itself. as a non-american, it’s no skin off my back.

Counter-point: the biggest thing Obama did to enrage the right was dare to be a successful black man. They’re the ones with the issue, man.

So Reagan’s two terms and his VPs term had nothing to do with it? The creation of the CNN 24 hour news cycle and the need to fill it had nothing to do with it? Decades of attacking public school budgets had nothing to do with that? Why the focus on Obama? These problems started 30 years before he was elected.

Why the focus on Obama?

The reason is likely skin deep. Literally.
