The only thing I actually miss is having a president with eloquence.
I like seeing empire mask off. The PR of decades past has allowed the word to forgive American crimes, it’s harder to do when we see it laid bare.
Having seen both, I like mask on.
No doubt, Obama and Trump are both criminals. For me, the difference is the culture of cruelty His Supreme Excellence has cultivated.
I think you have a good point here.
I only wish this had led to an actual reckoning of the country’s true history rather than the much more common reaction, “Trump ruined our great country!”
Much like instead of reflection about neo-colonialism after 9/11, Bush spat out “they hate our freedoms.”
That’s like an ongoing single morning for this admin, plus whatever crimes they cook up the rest of the day. Yes, Obama sucked. What’s your point, to say this admin shouldn’t be our focus, or to admonish those erroneously looking back with rose colored glasses and experiencing nostalgia? Because I don’t blame anyone practicing escapism from the hellhole that has been 2026.
I think the point is the Democratic party should not take their recent victory and go back to Obama era Democratic politics. They have the opportunity be be better than the party in the meme and they ought to take it.
Then say that. This meme doesn’t lead me to that thought. A good joke or meme doesn’t need further explanation or dialogue to get you there. This was poorly written using very old low hanging fruit. Just criticize the current leadership, they have TONS you can bring up without trying to tie in obama from two decades ago.
It led me to the thought so maybe it's a you problem.
If you’re only getting half the audience, its awful writing, so to speak. If it’s a me problem, it’s a problem, I’m the freaking audience. A key demo. You kinda want the key demographic to get the joke, ffs.
if you are the key demographic you should just read it a couple more times until you realise what it's saying.
