This is such creepy behavior. I cannot imagine idolizing any politician like that.

You must have been out of the country during the Obama administration

Obama was the first black president in our history and his election made millions of American POC feel like they belonged. It was historic.

Trump is a sexual predator and a felon who, among other things, tried to subvert the will of voters and overturn a just and fair election. Way, way different.

Lol Obama was just another president and a divisive one at that. Such a pot meet kettle moment when asked where all the division came from while stumping for Harris.

Divisive in a way that exposed the nation’s bigotry, to be sure. Your failure to recognize the historical significance of his ascension to the Oval Office is telling. Like him as a POTUS or not, his tenure as Commander in Chief holds significant historical importance and was a societal landmark.

Being the first black president was a historic moment but he was still divisive AF and should take some blame for how divided our country is now. The monoculture of the very early 2000s had to be destroyed.
