they didn't fire up the worst elements of humanity like Trump has.

Ffs the cognitive dissonance on the left is astounding.

"I know like obama and bush massacred innocent people and stuff but whatever dude.... trump said a mean thing!"


Good job omitting the part of my post that addressed that exact criticism!

Here it is again, person totally arguing in good faith:

Should people have been more angry when previous presidents were enacting terrible policies? Of course. But Trump certainly has a unique talent for keeping the conversation on him at all times.

donald trump isn't racist


Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But he says racist things, has emboldened racists in Charlottesville and elsewhere, and has a history of discriminatory actions against people of color going back to the 1970's.

Were dudes marching with torches chanting 'Jews will not replace us' during the Bush years? While both Bush and Obama did horrible things (starting the Iraq war under false pretenses; using drones to massacre people attending weddings), they didn't fire up the worst elements of humanity like Trump has.

Trump's constantly dishing out fiery rhetoric, people who disagree want to fire back. Should people have been more angry when previous presidents were enacting terrible policies? Of course. But Trump certainly has a unique talent for keeping the conversation on him at all times.
