(14,564 posts)I know some want to make it out to be about BHO and the color of his skin, but it was the same revolved double standard based on whether someone has a D or R behind his name.
The hated the living shit out of Bill and never conceded his legitimacy as POTUS.
Bush II was a flaming disaster, 9-11 happened on his watch, but that was in their deranged mind Clinton's fault.
Meanwhile, you absolutely could not disrespect the COIC with troops in the field from 2002 to 2008.
That shit came to a screaching halt on 2009.
And, make no mistake, the white woman would have gotten the same treatment had she won ...

The media HAS to stop treating Republicans with reverence.

(22,669 posts)They'll forever peddle the false equivalency. The American public has to be smart enough to see through it. The proof that 62 million didn't or didn't want to and were willing to turn a blind eye, shows our democracy is in real trouble of being manipulated.
Besides, you could tell they were hoping for a HRC win, they just wanted her to work really really hard at it. Unfortunately, they did too much damage to an otherwise stellar candidate. And unfortunately, their playing with fire has burned us all.

(12,864 posts)In person, she is a super nice lady who cares about other people. I've never heard her actually say anything in that meme, but I know she did go to the Chicago Trump rally as an enthusiastic supporter.
She knows I am stridently anti-Trump, and even though we have not discussed this election our relationship (which heretofore has been endearing) is somewhat strained. I think much less of her now, as I do anyone who voted for Trump, and I think she knows that even though I have not expressed it.
It's sad.
