It's too easy now to hide behind a key board and bash the president or congress or a particular party. Social media polarizes the country politically, it's so easy to have an extreme opinion and no one necessarily has to know who you are. You see these extremes on youtube comments, forums like this, and newspaper article comments. Not saying this is a bad thing, but it's a lot easier to express powerful opinions when your anonymous.
So I really think all politicians from this point on will generally have less support just because so many people can more easily write negative things about them, and once you start reading a lot of negative things about someone, you start to doubt the person.

Well, our current one is pretty young and...........We're going to start having younger and younger presidents -- catching them before they've turned into assholes.
Hopefully.

On one hand I hate the fact that these negative pundits have become so successful and particularly hate the fact that the main incentive is money.
But on the other hand .....I think this romance many have with many of our previous Presidents was partly because people didn't have this technology to tell the truth.
These God-dam founding fathers people today speak so fondly of ....as if they were some angels who dropped from the sky ....and to date we can never mind men like that today is one big fat lie!! Anything you see happening today ....multiply that by 100000 for those men back then when no one had any idea what they were really like. Pedophile, rapist, murderers, thieves.....believe any and all of it...because what would somebody who owned slaved wouldn't do?
