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.

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.
