Obama also woke many Republicans. He helped give birth to the team party movement which in a short period of time has done a good progress of cleansing the RINO’s from the party and has made the good ol’ boys RNC obsolete.
The “obama true believers” are either terrified little leftie white kids who think that voting “for the African-American guy” will keep them from getting mugged (look at an Electoral College map by county to see that lefties live in densely populated urban areas surrounded by the urban poor - they’re TERRIFIED of the urban poor and want to give them your wallet to keep from being mugged) or they are union/democrat thugs who want to take their money in return for making them feel morally superior.
Lefties would feed you to the alligators(or Muslims) if they thought that would buy them 5 more minutes of their pathetic little lives.
