| Obama was centrist, campaigned as a centrist and was voted for by people who wanted centrism. Tried to rule as centrist as was his actual mandate from voters. That is when republicans went crazy and radicalized to the far right. And no, you wont convince me that racism was not playing the role, no matter how much did the online center claimed the opposite. It is ridiculous that he is blamed for not doing much when what republicans back then did was, well, blocking everything. The ridiculous obstructions and one sided arguments were new back then, they became norm now. > while Trump again removed the chips act and everything else that Biden did Trump broke laws big time while doing it. He is literally dismantling both democracy and rule of law. It is ridiculous to criticize democrats for not going full fascists when they had power while also claiming them and republicans are the same. Yes they could act like Trump does now and create own autocracy. That they did not is a good point for them. > who cares about the small differences These are not small differences. For that matter, the tariffs Biden kept and current 135% dramas mixed with annexations threats toward allies are not nearly in the same league. And that is what I am talking about. In order to achieve both sides are the same, you need to: - Massively exaggerate bad democrats do, simultaneously blame them when they are centrists and when they go slightly left. And then throw blame them for what republicans do on top of it. - Massively whitewash what republicans do, ignore the worst of what they do, minimize the scale. And then use their worst as a blueprint for what democrats were supposed to do. |
