I'd like to remind you it was Obama who suspended habeus corpus and failed to roll back any of Bush's absurd "Patriot Act" nonsense; in fact he instituted a drone murder program that killed mostly civilians and even 'Murican citizens. Biden tried to set up a 'Ministry of Truth' to monitor (and no doubt take actions to "combat") online "mis/disinformation" and only scrapped it when the director was exposed as a nutjob and public outcry was impossible to ignore.
And that's just off the top of my head.
They're all culpable and complicit and pretending everything will be just fine once The Orange Menace is gone only proves adherents to that view are blinkered imbeciles.
You're so obsessed with dethroning one symptom of our government's rot you're sprinting straight into the arms of another.
You can go ahead and hate me because I'm right; I expect nothing less from blinkered imbeciles.
Look, if nothing else, get this straight once and for all, and stop projecting your feelings onto me, I do not hate you. I actually don't hate anyone here. Though, I do dislike some.
You don't even make that list because the diagreements we have are political in nature, at least to me. I have vehement political disagreements with the person I live with. We have passionate, and sometimes even loud disagreements, but they don't become personal. And he and I disagree more than you and I.
We both come from academic backgrounds where debate was not only common, but encouraged. At the end of the day, I can see the humanity in my opponent. I was a poli sci undergrad and would get into discussions with the president of the College Republicans on campus. I still remember Nelson. After class we'd walk out and chat about our writing assignments and/or midterms or finals as the situation merited. We were friendly. I've seen politics the same way and political oppenents the same way since I was that 18 year old girl. It's been 40 years. I'm not changing.
Disagreeing with someone does not mean I hate. Not in my head nor in my heart. You can keep saying that over and over, it doesn't make it so.
As for Obama, I already said that I didn't vote for him in 2012 after I witnessed the decisions he made in his first term.
