It might be ignorance, but I don't recall such rabid, frothing fury over Bush Jr.

It was pretty bad, but not as bad as TDS. For one, the media wasn't singing in unison for his impeachment.

Let's also not forget the ODS, where people were acting in an absolutely ridiculous manner, calling him 'Obunghole' and claiming that he was a Muslim born in Kenya.

The difference is that that was mostly coming from the 'rabble', while this is the rage of the elites at losing a single election and their first ever.

A couple people calling “O ‘bomb a’ -nother hospital” mean names, is a whole lot different than a vast majority of institutions and all of the the mainstream media circle jerking about how bad Orange Man is and calling for the destruction of the US.

It's in no way comparable, I agree. But there was a lot of irrational hatred for Obama as well, which is what I was trying to argue. People called him a communist for the very reasonable proposition that we should spread the wealth around.

I regard him mostly as an empty suit, not an evil genius.

Then why even bother with the comparison. Obama helped open us up to the social justice nonsense we are dealing with now.

Obama helped instigate further riots with his open condemnation of “systematic racism”

Obama’s time in the White House emboldened the left and got us to the point we are currently at.

I won’t say I hate the man, but there were plenty of legitimate criticisms that the media never discussed.

If Obama was to shit himself on stage, the journalists would have went to eat it out of his pants and lick his asshole clean.

What's that line?

When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression...

Did media so much as criticize the scent of Obama's flattus? Obama was a shit president and this is a horrible comparison.

You're absolutely right; not sure why you're being downvoted. Obama was shit but hardly anybody in the media elite would ever call him on it. And the crazy accusations came from randos on the Internet.
