The bitter divisiveness across the United States can be laid at the doorstep of Barack Obama and all his henchmen, from the top down.

A Pew Research Poll shows divisiveness at 46% in 2009. Under Obama, that divisiveness increased to 86%.
President Trump had NOTHING to do with it. Obama and his Democrats had everything to do with it, particularly when he promised to unite us under his *brilliant* leadership.

 
LOL .... yeah, rightwingers and Trump declaring that Obama was born in Kenya and was not the legitimate president ... that had nothing to do with it.

I can’t imagine McConnell’s openly stated goal the day after Obama’s inauguration was to stymie him at every turn, nor the ever-present Fox smear machine, had ANYTHING to do with it.

You’re regurgitating the same wingnut sewage I’ve been reading for more than a decade. It’s pathetically weak.

Of course not. EVERYTHING BAD IS BECAUSE LIBERALS!!!!
 
I can name plenty that Obama did wrong, but Republicans were way worse. They were so determined to stop Obama from getting credit for anything that they wouldn't even vote to fund programs for veterans, for example.

That's when this Bush, McCain and Romney voter started realizing how cancerous her party had become.
 
It's like Trump supporters have the memory of a gold fish. Like they can't remember the last ten years, and the outright belligerence showed to Obama from day one.

It's like they think they were this sweet and innocent people that gave him a fair shake, like they are asking for now.

Difference is, Obama wasn't a slime ball and deserved a fair shake. Trump deserved prison before he even declared his candidacy.

Now Trump Supporters are asking for something they don't deserve and never gave.

**** em.

I hope the next President deports the lot of Trump supporters, that'll make America Great Again. Send em back to Europe. Not our problem if they don't know the languages, and lack any kind of support structure when they arrive.

Actually I don't think that is what was the major contributor. It might have had some effect but I don't think its near close to the top. Obama had a habit of supporting things that he shouldn't have. Like saying that if he'd had a son he'd look like Trayvon. Giving support to the BLM even after it was found out how much they lied or used false/misleading statistics while essentially ****ting on cops.

All that said, Trump certainly hasn't made things any better that is for sure. And that graph is being misused by MrWonderful and has lied about what it actually says. The 86% he cites is in 2017. The graph doesn't say when in 2017 it was made and since MrWonderful didn't provide a link it is not possible to find out when it came out unless you search the Pew Research site. In addition to that even if it was at the beginning of 2017 that still leaves a full year (all of 2016) in which Trump was campaigning and being elected. Saying all the crap that he said contributed to that 86%. If the poll was taken at the end of each year then that would be two full years in which Trump has had an influence on that 86%. All of that is of course under the assumption that either one (Obama or Trump) is solely responsible for the divisiveness. Reality shows that they are not solely responsible. A contributing factor certainly. But not the sole factor.

In the end, what that graph ACTUALLY shows is that the divisiveness between Americans has risen. It does not show how or why it has risen. It does not attribute blame to anyone. It simply shows that divisiveness has grown in the US. Period. That's it.
 




 


I agree with most of this.
 

Funny you seem to be regurgitating left wing nut sewage

McConnell made his remarks in an interview that appeared in the National Journal on Oct. 23, 2010 — nearly two years after Obama was elected president.

When did Mitch McConnell say he wanted to make Obama a one-term president?

No it really shouldn't, especially as the foundation for the birther movement is rooted in on the left.
And even though the majority of that movement later came from the right, the vast majority of the right were not involved in the movement.

With that said, the public decisiveness in this nation is clearly rooted on the left, whether you want to admit to reality or not.

Nothing that we didn't already know. Though I can already guess that the usually TDS suffering members of the populace are going to show up soon and screech a little.
 

“Clearly,” in this scenario = “because Excon says so.”

It is truly sad you need these things told to you.
 

Oops! In the end, what that graph ACTUALLY SHOWS is that the divisiveness has risen DURING OBAMA'S INCOMPETENT TERM IN OFFICE!
HE preached bring us back together time and again, while doing exactly the opposite, time and again.
HE preached one thing and then said, "They bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."
HE preached "They take the low road, we take the high road." It's NOT "the high road" to encourage our enemies, to encourage black youth to beat down whites, to encourage "The Knockout Game" by blacks, to preach hate and divisiveness.

Leftists meanwhile said any criticism of Incompetent Obama was "racism." Race-baiting and class warfare are two key ways the Left maintains its base and its hold on their fragile, hateful minds. How many photographs are circulated comparing Trump to orangatangs and Bush to monkeys, but Roseanne Barr makes ONE comment on Valerie Jarrett, who is from the middle east, and Roseanne loses her show. The hypocrisy of the Left is flagrant, sickening, deadly.

Yeah. That's what did it.

Talk to the hand? Did you post this from the 90's?
 

Are you asserting that Obama was a non-partisan, arbiter of truth and impartiality?

Kobie is emotion, free from reason.

I shall not bother reading another word from him. My Ignore List just grew by Kobie.
 

Ain't it funny how powerful people get pissed off when they're frozen out of doing their jobs?

FLASHBACK: ‘Elections Have Consequences’ | The Daily Caller
<snip>
“Elections have consequences,” he told then number two Republican Rep. Eric Cantor. “And at the end of the day, I won. So I think on that one I trump you.”

The remark reportedly poisoned the well with Republicans, who used it to characterize him as stubborn and unwilling to work with Congress to achieve his objectives. Now almost ten years later, it’s the Democrat Party struggling to deal with the realities of a massive electoral defeat.

FYI.
My responding to Kobie attempting to make the discussion about me and commenting about the sadness of that, is not making the discussion about him, nor should you feel invited to make it about him in response either.
