I'm not gonna hear that from the folks who spent the last eight years calling Obama a Communist Socialist who is worse than ISIS.

Strawman? No, that's my dad.

Ya, this was the the line that was used during the Bush years...well sort of.
What they would say was, I respect the office of the Presidency.
Which is a way of sidestepping any critical thought about what the President is doing.

It is used as a tool to promote subordination towards the current administration at worst, and intellectually lazy at it's best.

Funny thing is, you never heard this line used during the Obama years.

((You can think of it as, brain dead hypocrites with daddy issues, wrapped in the flag))

that's because during the obama administration there was a massive surge of conservatives who just wanted to break the fucking system. people like that have no respect for anything that doesn't directly benefit themselves.

The question is not, were the liberals saying this, which I never heard in the same context.

The question is, were conservatives saying this during the Obama Administration. That's the question.
They answer is; No, they were not saying that during the Obama Administration.

Trump was the most disliked candidate ever to run for the office, so no, I don't believe it was.

I think it depends on what you mean by respect. I knew a lot of US service members who really did not approve of Obama's policies, but they still followed their orders and recognized Obama as their Commander in Chief. On the civilian side, people have told me they couldn't stand Bill Clinton, but they would never think of actually telling him to fuck off. He was still the president, regardless of their feelings. Of course there are those crazy exceptions out there, but I never met any.

They actually weren't. They just accused anyone who didn't like Obama of racism.

People were saying the same thing for the last 8 years but with Obama instead of Trump so now it's the republicans turn to say it.

And yah, I've only seen it said on here in quotations. Haven't actually seen anyone say it for real.

Nah, that was achieved a long, long time ago. The US has had presidents who have been assassinated, after all. And public protests have been a thing since the beginning. I will agree that the public disdain for politicians does seem to be more visible because of social media and such, which is maybe a good thing. It's more honest, if nothing else.
