re: The sore loser lefties are the ones committing treason

Yeah, I'm used to the Poliboard group amnesia regarding their previous scorching hot takes but "Y'all probably didn't know this since we hid it so well but we didn't like Obama very much!" was too big a whopper even by the rock bottom standards of this board.

When Obama left office his poll numbers were the highest for a lame duck president in history.

Well, leaving office was the best thing he ever did, and I approved of that too.

I don't think many of them realize the depths of disdain that most Conservatives felt for Obama. But he was the elected POTUS; so we grit our teeth, bided time, and vowed to make a change

I think many of them realized exactly how much many people hated Obama. In fact, I think that most of them believed that we hated Obama even more than we actually did, which leads me to the point. When dems think of republicans during the Obama years, they don't think of you sitting at home grinding their teethe. They think of BAIR lining the streets outside mosques with powerful guns, they think of college kids spray painting swastikas and ripping hijabs from women's heads, they think of the privileged whites dismissing every concern of minority communities with the dismissive fall back of 'you have it good enough'. In short, they think of all the negative stereotypes associated with us racist, xenophobic, bigoted, hateful republicans.

When they think this about most of us, they are severely wrong. But it's what they think because it's the only perception of southern conservatives that many democrats get from the media. Which makes sense. The media isn't going to waste their money-making hours talking about you sitting at home grinding their teeth. That's not good TV. They get far more viewers by highliting the extremes. And that's what people who don't know many conservatives end up believing about us. That we are 'extremists' bc we don't see the world exactly the way they do.

So what's the point of this little diatribe? It's that we shouldn't be repeating the left's mistakes. Let's not mistake the violent protesters and scared snowflakes we see from the left on the news as representing their entire party. It's not. Like you, many of them are gritting their teeth, biding their time, and vowing to make a change. And if we fall victim to the same trap that hit dems in 2016, they'll likely respond by electing a similar loud-mouthed bully to the one we have now, only their guy will have drastically more dangerous economic and social policies.


TL/DR version: Stop sensationalizing. It doesn't help. Plenty of them understand what democracy entails and very, very few have come anywhere close to committing actual treason. I'm also frustrated seeing a subgroup of them bitching and moaning every day, and I'm certainly frustrated with a large chunk of the media carrying their water for them. But categorizing this as treason is so far off base that it makes OP look delusional.

Well said.

I say you are illiterate.
