Obama regularly bragged how his politics weren't very different from Reagan's. All the while libs would throwing themselves in front of criticism of him like that Simpsons meme. You could literally quote him and they would come up with some lame excuse.
Edit: this pissed me off. He literally volunteered to cut social security payments as part of his Grand Bargain and libs called the Republicans obstructionists for not going along with it. They have no concept of politics beyond team sports, never have.
- Great article but serious brainworms in the first part. Saying Stalin told Germans to back Hitler. JFC americans are such cranks on foreign policy and history. Someone will take a radical stance doubting the narratives you have been told by conservatives and liberals about Obama, and then regurgitate the stupidest, most falsifiable, lies about any topic outside our borders
  
  don't dwell on it too much, he's a trot, he can't help it
- Great article. Some of these things I noticed and people looked at me like I was crazy.
- The best part is it still doesn't get into Obama's white supremacy regarding foreign policy 😀
Republicans calling their own healthcare plan socialism turned me into a socialist
Yep. I often feel like I'm the only person I know who actually remembers the Bush years and I wasn't even an adult yet
It was very similar to what Romney had implemented as governor of Massachusetts.
- It was a bit to the right of Romneycare, if we're being honest. And that makes the 2012 election even more hilarious.
Im curious what things look like if Romny won 2012, 'cus he was 100% going to do the exact same healthcare bill and so much of conservative social media at the time was IMPACT FONT OBAMACARE DEATHPANEL FEMA CAMPS. Like, what would the right look like without the Tea Party astroturf?
B-but project 2025!
And remember
no subsidies if you try to "compete" with your employer's bullshit circus of a healthcare chokehold in the government "marketplace".
Wouldn't want the working class thinking they can just go where they want when they want.
Oh and if you like your
well you don't have to like it you're getting it no matter who you vote for anyways lol suckers. At least your kids will have something to show for their healthcare bankruptcy.
