Obama was pretty damn close.

Subject line, not IM.

I would say there are pretty significant differences in character between the two, notwithstanding the potential parallel of intensity that I think you are pointing at here. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 22, 09:57 6
- also translated: Obama was big time admired because he was the first black President. Trump was big time admired because he was the first racist Pres. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 10:00 1
  - **note (openly racist) - Jovian Jul 22, 10:02
- My only point was the parallel in intensity. Yes, stark differences in character. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 10:00 3
  - agree 100% here. Hell I’d throw Reagan in as a third. So we’ve had three instances since the 80s. Minimum. -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 10:02 2
    - The three arent comparable. Obama and Reagan sure. But not DJT. I reject that out of hand. - Jovian Jul 22, 10:08 1
      - his idolization from his base is on par with Mussolini and Hitler. Thats the difference here. What he represents. - Jovian Jul 22, 10:09
not even remotely close. Show me an Obama hat. Show me an Obama shirt. Show me an Obama Flag. Show me Obama Nazi rallies. Show me.. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 09:51 7
- I remember seeing Obama stores that only sold Obama merchandise. -- nm - Dano Jul 22, 09:55 4
  - There still is one in DC! -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 09:58
  - me too. But never once in his 8 years did I ever see anyone wear any Obama gear. DJT gear on the other hand? I see that all the time. -- nm* - Jovian Jul 22, 09:56 2
    - Uhh sure, okay. -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 09:58 1
      - I dont lie. I never saw Obama gear on anyone in my life. But then again I live in NJ. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 10:01
- You’re joking right? His “Hope” poster might be the most iconic image of the late 2000s. And I still regularly see Obama shirts, hats, and apparel. -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 09:53 1
  - Im not joking. Obama was loved because he was a good man. People generally respected him and were proud of it. Trump is a vile piece of shit, loved - Jovian Jul 22, 09:55
