Well hey, the right was terrified of Obama and he turned out to not be that bad so its basically the same thing right? The world is grey and fears about Trump are only as legitimate as fears about Obama and are all equally founded. /s
- wavefunction 10y agoThat's a false equivalency to be sure. Right wingers were afraid of what they claimed President Obama would pursue in policy. Critics of President-Elect Trump are fearful of _his own stated policies._
- okreallywtf 10y agoI was being sarcastic, not sure if /s was sufficient to flag it, I can't quite tell from your response. I agree and I've tried to explain that to my conservative friends and co-workers but it never quite makes it through. Because Sharia law and death-panels never came to be a lot of them feel fine in brushing off my concerns about Trump, despite the complete false equivalency between the two.
