When O was in office did conservatives
1 call him a POS? (well, maybe some did, but I.. in all those LONG 8 years never heard him called that by one R)
2 accuse him of being a liar over everything he said (well, maybe some did, but I... in all those LONG 8 years never heard...)
3 call for his impeachment (well, maybe some did but I.. in all those LONG 8 years never heard..)
4 abuse his Administration staff so they couldn't even eat in a restaurant in peace and quiet (well, maybe some did but.... [you know the rest])
5 accuse those who voted for him of being in a cult (well, maybe some did but..)
I don't get the vitriol and hate..
You gon't get the vitriol and hate?
It's not "hate", it's loathing. To hate can be irrational, to loathe is derived from actual behavior, to wit:
What Trump did that Obama did not do is the following, Trump ...
1. Trolled opposition daily, and there is a difference between legit criticism and trolling
2. Engaged in petty name calling almost daily, even with citizens
3. Lied on a scale hitherto unseen in modern history
4. Gaslighted ( related to trolling, but big lies so big and often we know he knows they are lies, but does it intentionally to drive opposition nuts )
5. was incompetent ( evidenced by the number of resignations and firings and 80% turnover from his staff, of whom some have called Trump "idiot" "moron" etc )
6. committed Contempt of Congress
7. committed Obstruction of Congress
8. committed Bribery ( quid pro quo for personal gain )
9. Fornicated with a porn star and playboy centerfold soon after newly wed wife gives birth
10. Accused his opponent during the campaign that he was not born in America
11. Declared bankruptcy 6 times
12. engaged in projection ( accusing the opposition of the very things he is guilty of
13. Fawned over dictators, admiring them
14. Believed dictators over that of intel staff
15. Slow walked sanctions to Russia and worked to remove those sanctions.
16. did have more indictments and convictions in the ranks, Obama had zero
17. has a barrage of scandals, week after week that it's numbing and exhausting.
18. Creating divisions in America, chaos much to the approval of Putin.
19. is named as co-conspirator in a felony
20 has a long history of nonpayment of creditors and employees, corruption, money laundering, tax fraud ( though not convicted, there are detailed evidenced reportage) and contempt of the legal system which he used as a weapon, charity fraud, etc.
There is more, but there is a 5000 character limit.
Do you get it, now? And...because of these things, we believe he is unfit for office, and we understand that in order to make something "great" one must be great, and Trump is the opposite of great. In fact, he is a despicable human being, a malignant narcissist who has no empathy whatsoever to his fellow human beings, he lacks humanity, who acts only in self interest. For example, once, when he visisted a hospital, when a microphone was put to his face, he complained that the media gave no attention to the crowd size gathering outside the hospital rallying for him ( or something like that, it was very bad behavior, which he does a lot ).
Obama didn't approve of the bothering opposition in restaurants, it was done by rogue groups and not on a large enough scale to use in a comparison. Both dems and repubs have a rogue groups on the far extreme of their respective spectrums that do not have any particular party's or leader approval ( Antifa on the left, KKK/white supremacists on the right)
