lol I also like when people trot out the "Obama did bad stuff too!" talking point as if the non-establishment left isn't in full agreement there.

Like, yeah dude. You think me being pissed that Obama didn't close Guantanamo is a sign that I'm going to be more sympathetic about Trump's policies? Come on now.

exactly this, well said. If Obama actually committed crimes while in office I'll listen to the evidence with an open mind, sure go after him. The right want to give trump a free pass for insurrection. There's a huge difference between the two mindsets, and I can't not call out anyone for still supporting him that happens to cross my social-media path. I'll use downvotes, too. I'm not going to do nothing while actual US fascism creeps upward, not sure what the parent commenter expects.
