I'm not trying to imply complete equivalence between the two. I'm trying to point out that just because you think Trump "is an idiot" or whatever, that doesn't mean his administration is performing objectively worse than its predecessors.
The top commenter here says "I don’t think this administration has much interest in what “we the people” really want, though."
And if he believes that previous administrations like Clinton/Bush/Obama did, that's demonstrably not true.

That's not what it's about, it's about highlighting the flaws of the previous administrations, because all I see is unequivocal love for both Clinton and Obama.
Not because that's somehow immediately helpful to the political climate, but because it might be helpful to someone personally to understand at least some of the reasons why their country has gone to shit, and it might stop them rallying to false idols.
And it also might humble them towards the other half of their country when they realise their church is just as filthy.
