I confess that there was, for my, a modest upside to the Obama regime: It gave me a feel for what it may feel like to many people (think black people in the southeast in the 50’s) when the government seems to be fighting you and trying to push you down at every turn. Which is why the Trump years were a breath of fresh air. I got a good gulp of it before we slipped below the surface again...
obama was all about punishing white Americans...you can take that to the bank.
If a few blacks or other races got caught up as collateral damage that was OK also.
