Obama made clear as early as the 2008 primaries that he wasn't going to be very good on civil liberties. (But he didn't have to be this bad.)
What valid concerns did Republicans have during the past eight years? Do tell. I've not heard of a single one.
Trump is the inevitable outcome of 50 years of racist, belligerent fear mongering and bad-faith governance on the part of the Republicans. You can draw a straight line from Nixon through Reagan through W. to get to Trump. Obama had nothing to do with it.

It started with the Chrysler bailout (almost as soon as he walked into office!), and it continues to this day with e.g. the retroactive provisions in his latest anti-inversion proposal. > Trump is the inevitable outcome of 50 years of racist, belligerent fear mongering Trump is the inevitable outcome of eight years of liberal grievance peddling. His supporters are just trying to claim their share of the spoils of victimhood.

Check that against our attempts at "reset." 3. Iran will not adhere to the document they signed with the Nuclear Act. Check that with the current ballistics tests. I could go on, however, please do tell me what current racist governance the Republicans are engaging in. How far into the echo chamber are you that you believe this, please point to what actual racist policies Reagan, George H.W. Bush, or George W. Bush have implemented?
