I live on the opposite side of the world and even I remember when Obama wore a fucking tan suit once more than 10 years ago because Republicans threw such a big tantrum over it.

    But what about that elitist Dijon mustard he put on his hamburger? That was a real travesty.

    Telling a voter that to help climate change at a very small individual level they could make sure their car tire PSI is up to the recommended level.

    Then Republicans said that that was "Obama's foreign policy".

    Or how about when they pretended "lipstick on a pig" was a slight to Palin?

    Or how about when they forced him to reaffirm "In God We Trust" on the money.

    Or how about Michelle Obama just fucking existing and claiming she's a man.

    Fuck all of them.

    How else could republicans attack a guy who deported more people, bombed more countries, and saw the immiseration of more black families than either Bush or Trump? Right-wing democrats are more competent at being republicans than actual republicans.

    They freaked out because of the choice of leaf in his salad! (Arugula) That obviously makes him the Antichrist.

    And dijon is the superior mustard. It's just further proof that some people have more money than sense and just want what they've always had.

    I mean really it's that some people's interface with the world is backwards.

    Instead of it being like

    "Facts" -> "Emotions"

    for many people it's

    "Emotions" -> "Facts"

    They don't like Obama. Therefore, whatever he did is bad. That's it. They're like the common clay of the new west.

    I think Seth Meyers did a thing about how the right wing was freaking out about Biden having ice cream and saying that's unpresidential and for old people, but like literally the same week Trump had ice cream and it was not a problem.

    That's such a perfect microcosm of how unabashedly childish they are. I get that most of them are probably racist but HOW can you POSSIBLY care about someone wearing a tan suit? If I was Obama I would have worn it every day for a month just to spite them. It's the same as when they shat their pants when AOC got like a $300 hair treatment or something. It pisses me off so much.
