Random one I found scrolling down that is so hilarious it feels like I'm being trolled:
Concerning remarks about the US President, which again, inherently dangerous
Can you imagine typing this with a straight face, unironically using it to say this guy is a bad dude for criticizing the president? After Trump?
That's the level of upvoting going on there. People who truly believe that by daring to imply Biden isn't perfect, you are dangerously inciting violence into our country.
Honestly, its a shockingly good insight into their mindset and why they feel the need to control and narrative-ize everything. Because they seem to truly believe that if you even give a tiny bit of weakness to the Right, we will instantly pounce like rabid animals. Which is hilarious projection.
I still remember the huge sentiment during the Obama years of "he is still our president and you should respect that." I even did so a little just out of principle respect to America itself.
I wonder where all those people are now. Would be hilarious to put the contrast up and see how they spin their wheels to justify it.
insulting the president was patriotic.
'Member when making funny caricature face masks of the President was a national pastime, until Obama? And suddenly calling him a monkey was super evil on the same shelf as the Bush as a monkey mask?
This must be what it felt like to live under Lincoln. Just seeing in real time your nation having changed forever by a single, horrible man who everyone voted in on empty promises.
I still remember the huge sentiment during the Obama years of "he is still our president and you should respect that."
This is an older principle that is no longer adhered to. I'm sure someone did try to bring it back for Obama, but that's not a cat that's going back in the bag easily. SNL parodies the presidents, and they're as mainstream as it comes.
That said, respect for the office does not mean that you don't criticize its occupant or even make fun of them. That always happens unless some gestapo cracks down on it.

Hollywood folks made those weird loyalty pledges to Obama after he won the Presidency. Then Trump won and insulting the president was patriotic.

To be fair, there is a good deal of vote hitting going on too
