What is this incessant desire to derail any thread mildly positive about Democratic politicians?

Republicans angry that a black man got elected president mobilized behind Tea Party psychopaths to capture Congress and gridlock any real progress (also because Democrats barely voted in midterms) but sure let's blame all this on Obama. Then they'll pivot back to "what about the drone strikes" (different subject entirely than their "Obama caused Covid" posts) like he's also responsible for the Military Industrial Complex that's been in place for all of our lifetimes.
It sucks seeing people post alt right talking points on this site. They don't happen that often to be fair but when they do they stand out and risk getting picked up by others. Not just the Obama attacks but stuff like the vaccine thread earlier today where some people claimed a vaccine this soon might actually be bad because "side effects" which is straight out of the Alex Jones playbook.
You should see what some in Rose Twitter are saying about Michelle Obama. (Actually, maybe you shouldn't)This right here is the thing that disappoints me the most about basically any objective discussion about Obama specifically.
Obama being a war criminal is a fact, calling him such is not a temper tantrum. Especially when that criticism is from the people his policies hurt.The temper tantrums don't only come from the right as we've already seen from a couple posters trying their best to shit up this thread with the "Obama is a war criminal, Obama is responsible for Trump, Obama is a piece of shit" crowd.
There was some kid who asked for this a few weeks back.
The Obamas coming through strong and got the racists trippin over themselves already once again.
I'm just going to start reporting every incident of these derails. It's perfectly fair to discuss Obama's policies, but the efforts by posters here to try to derail literally any discussion involving any Democrat is becoming too much. If you want to discuss these things, make a thread about it.Obama being a war criminal is a fact, calling him such is not a temper tantrum.

Don't get me wrong he's not perfect and he himself would admit a number of mistakes. But I just can't stand seeing posts on here like "Obama's the reason we're even in this mess". No, no he's fucking not.This right here is the thing that disappoints me the most about basically any objective discussion about Obama specifically.
It's your right to report what you consider derail, as is being outraged at the uncritical adulation a person responsible for the deaths thousands of one's own people.I'm just going to start reporting every incident of these derails.

I think they'll surviveI feel awful for the high school and college kids who have been robbed of some really great months/year.
obama's crimes should be aired out everytime he appears in public, just like how everyone brings up bush's crimes whenever he rears his head. and yes trump will be joining those ranks too as well, in case any lib here wants to call me a crypto-trump supporter. but at the end of the day, random internet posters aren't gonna hurt him materially. he'll die a free rich man, beloved by liberals everywhere while the thousands of libyans, pakistanis, syrians and yemeni suffering because of his wars will be forgotten.I love how in the run up to election season, the "actually Obama and Bush were both worse than Trump" talking points are being really ramped up and amplified...
And in alt-right meme economy format, too!
in canada and it works fine. sweet, i wanna see obama speechifyUS only probably

It's pretty much impossible to have any kind of feel-good thread around here anymore. Everyone and everything is terrible for one reason or another.Leave it to Era to start talking about neoliberals! In a thread about a nice thing for high school seniors who are getting robbed of this memory.

Jesus those are all teachers that have died during the pandemic?!
Not yet.
Because I didn't notice they were 2 weeks old when I posted.These remarks are from almost 2 weeks ago. Why give them new life?
I still dont get what the big deal is about this. Graduation was a hot and sweaty mess. People were miserable. We just wanted it to end.I feel awful for the high school and college kids who have been robbed of some really great months/year.
