(10,750 posts)Why even promote this shady article falsely equivocating Obama to the Trump vile, tawdry POS?

(18,272 posts)He actively blocked Obama. That's why this op-ed makes me so angry. And it's on CNN's front page (as of this writing).

(5,811 posts)from overthrowing the US govt which was in part their rage reaction to the election of the first African American president. This all started with Snowden and white lefties praised and supported his treasonous actions even though it was obvious he was a Russian agent. Y'all gonna find out klannie Mitch McConnell was in the shadows orchestrating all this shit.
As an African American woman, I recognize a basic truth. White folks can be very unreliable political partners. I love white folks but they are forever getting distracted by this type of bullshit. Rather than promote Democratic goodness they're out here repeating and amplifying the lies of racist white boys.
I'm not outraged by their lies because I know their history. I'm outraged by the people who give voice to it under the guise of outrage.

I was wrong; he's out of office, and they're still blaming him for everything. Makes me wonder if they might, in some twisted way, have enjoyed having Hillary Clinton as President. They could have unleashed every frenzied, feverish daydream of ferocious, mindless hatred on her, day after day, week after week, month after month. Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones would dine out on their loathing of her for eight solid years. It's the wet-dream of every AM radio hate jockey in existence. And all for nought.
Kind of shot yourselves in the foot there, didn't you, guys?

(13,390 posts)We should watch for these kinds counter-arguments and a range of interpretations. And, the fact that Russian interference began before Trump is something that can no doubt be exploited.
Obama was the first president to be elected after FB began to have major political influence. It made a positive impact for connecting and mobilizing for 2008. I think it's pretty clear that that's why it was targeted for use by nefarious actors.
We should remember that any and all election results that have come in since it started could be subject to some scrutiny.
