I'll certainly take you at your word, but I just don't think that's the case for many. His actions on illegal immigration, the travel ban, his picks for cabinet positions, those are all political reasons people don't like him. Again, his personal conduct and demeanor are the icing on the cake. They aren't unimportant, but they aren't the key point. Let's just say that if he was liberal politically and the same jerk he wouldn't face calls for impeachment from the same group of people.
Quote:I think its a stretch to say there isn't much difference between the two considering much of the hatred for Obama was not rooted in his policies, but the color of his skin and his funny sounding name. I remember one particular half illiterate POS around here trying to convince me Obama was neither intelligent or a good orator. I'm not sure how someone with a certificate in kickball thinks anyone can take their judgement as worthwhile but it happened often.
I think you're wrong here too, for the same reason. Most of the hate for Obama came from political differences, his being a black man (and secret muslim!) were merely the icing on the cake for them in the same way Trump's personality is for the current crop of hysterical people. Also, as Bfine already pointed out, there was no one of prominence talking about blowing up the White House or making videos in which Obama was assassinated. Many on the left have gone way overboard and the posters here are not immune to this.

His reactions to reasonable disagreements have been way over the top. He's entitled to respond any way he chooses but I have noticed a very discernible difference in his responses and posts in the past year or so. He probably doesn't give a shit about my opinion but I have absolutely observed this.

In summation, you gentlefolk are two of the best contributors to this cesspool. Seems like you guys have been doing a back and forth saying the other one is taking it personally. Let me assure you both. Neither of you are taking it personally. You can drop that line of reasoning and get back to facts at hand.
I will freely admit that I take GMDino's constant attacks on the law enforcement profession personally. Aside from that I can think of no issue I have gotten to that pitch with. In any event, your point is taken and appreciated.
