hating trump, at least in the traditional sense that you see in mainstream outlets, is more about making people feel better about themselves & their own set of moral values than actually opposing any kind of policies or ideas

They'll bring on the experts to talk about how his tweets are dangerous and treading new ground, but they won't focus on his actual, should-be controversial policies.

I guess the first makes for better news.

Why would they care about Trump putting kids in camps? Obama put tens of thousands of kid in camps, and they didn't say shit.

Other than the "America out of everywhere!" folks, no one really gives a damn about what's happening in Yemen, or our involvement in it.

Probably because it won't amount to anything.

true, centrists only performatively care about oppressed people's while fighting tooth and nail to keep the status quo that has kept oppressed people, well... oppressed for generations.

It's not just Obama. They didn't care under Bush or Clinton either.

Basically they fire on all cylinders on a subject until someone has the wherewithal to look up them crowing about this subject under some other president(s). They live in a world where everything they do is recorded and they forget that.

Alternatively heel turns grant no momentum, and if they keep jumping they can preserve their speed longer.

Like 90% of the president's job is diplomacy and building trust. Being a dick is sort of a detriment to that.

The other things you listed are bad, but are also group efforts that he signed off on. Also, I don't think they lack coverage the way you are implying they do. There is just literally so much to cover at this point that it is insane.

He didn't "change the rules." The rules always were, since the fucking '90's, that kids cannot be locked up with adults for more than three weeks.

Are you going to tell me that the Obama administration processed tens of thousands of deportation cases within three weeks time? No? Then either the Obama administration just released tens of thousands of criminals for absolutely nothing, or they separated children from their parents.

And you weren't saying SHIT about it then.

What the Obama admin with deportations is 100% unforgivable
what they did with drones is also 100% unforgivable

But you wouldn't give a shit about these people either way so shut the fuck up

Sure, it's unforgivable NOW. How very convenient for you that this problem you have with Trump, that you didn't say shit about under Obama, is unforgivable under Obama, after he's already out of office with nary a mention of it.
