I really don't remember this much disdain for people who voted for Obama the way Trump supporters are attacked.

But hey... throw them stones glass houses.
Cultists... lol
Geez.

Really? Did you sleep through the Obama years?

Do you not remember the Tea Party? Do you not remember a sleazy New York businessman trying to pump up a political reputation by claiming Obama wasn't a US citizen and had no legal right to be president? Do you not remember how Obama and his followers were considered "socialists" and "communists"?

Did you not watch Fox News at least once in eight years?

Did you not read any comments on this message board for eight years? Anyone who voted for Obama - or just though he wasn't the Devil personified - was castigated as having no brains, no morals, and of being completely un-American.

Other than that - no, no disdain. None at all.

I'm talking about regular people. Not politicians.
Politicians will always attack the opposite side.

And no.. I refrained from political talk on the internet for a long while, especially on my football site, so I missed the awesome Duval discussions on Obama's awesome 8 year tenure.
No brains, check. No morals...well morals aren't universal so I can't really agree with that. Un-American? Well.. he certainly wasn't PRO American...

But I'm referring to the every day life. People hate Trump just to hate him. There are viral videos of people hating things Obama said because someone told them it was a Trump quote.
Outside of a few religious nuts who claimed Obama was the AntiChrist... there was never this swelling of people flocking together to [BLEEP], moan, cry, and complain about every breath, word, or idea Obama had.
I know people and not just young millenial types like yourself, that every day search and find anything to complain about for Trump.
During Obama's tenure... especially his first 4 years before the "hope" ran out, there wasn't what we see today. (I certainly wasn't running around calling Obama supporters anti-christ incarnates or muslim terrorists, or cultists, or anything really)
Not even close.
