Sure, racists didn't like Obama. But there wasn't an organized "RESISTANCE!" like there is now. This is the second time Democrats have seceded from the Union. It's making it very difficult for the duly elected president to govern, whether you like him or not. Remember back when Democrats were concerned that Trump wouldn't accept the election results? We now have the losing candidate running around RESISTING! and suggesting, if not overtly stating, that she is the rightful president.

I really do. It's the stupid constantly in fear white people part of the our race that just couldn't deal having a black man with that much authority. I know exactly the type of interactions you are talking about.

Yeah, people can be laughably racist at this point. It's pathetic. Completely emblematic of the failed education system the last 30 years.

People hate change. Obama was the face of what MANY saw as the end to the America they know. The Tea Party resistance was so effective and strong it made moderates afraid to work with Obama.

He's on a role. Clearly the Democrats are the reason the president can’t get anything done.

Are you really comparing the Tea Party movement to the losing presidential candidate refusing to accept the election results and giant marches across the country every weekend? Or are you now going to adopt the Trump viewpoint that there aren't that many marchers because it suits your argument?

Yes, there were. You're just not around them much because you live in a liberal utopia.

The Tea Party in 2009-2010 was absolutely equivalent to whatever RESISTANCE movement is happening now.

It was massive.

I don't believe it was that big, but regardless, its goal wasn't to depose the sitting president.

Clinton's resistance thing is probably on par with the Tea Party as far as I'm concerned.

I still don't understand how the Democratic party put her up as a candidate. She is likely a criminal, and not even for the Benghazi stuff.

I just thought the tea parties were actually well organized, and helped to streamline the extreme viewpoints of the right. Trump latched onto that zealotry, and now look where we are. The pussies on the left have no answer for it.

I guess I am equating them. Doesn't seem too far fetched. Let's just not break out into analogies here to prove points.

Sure it was. The difference is they didn't have a President as willing to provide ammunition to them.

Really? They didn't say he was illegitimate because he was Kenyan?

_________________

The Tea Party slated candidates and took action within the system. You really don't see the difference between that and this RESISTANCE!? If the "resistance" was planning to slate candidates to take over Congressional seats at the mid-term I wouldn't even be talking about it. This RESISTANCE! is an attempted coup of a duly elected president and is utilizing every method possible to achieve that goal. I truly believe there is a fantasy among many of these people that they can somehow install Hillary Clinton into the office.

Are you suggesting there was an organized endgame to remove Obama from office based on that shit? Because I certainly don't remember that.

Again, you seem to live somewhere that doesn't represent America. I have never seen a single individual who is talking about "RESISTANCE!" Maybe you should get out and talk to real Americans. Unless you're scared we will con you into selling us your horses below market again.

the tea party was big enough to always squeeze its way into the news way more than it deserved. if social media was as big as it is now, there'd be tea party shit all over the place. just because you don't remember it, JORR, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

and it was very real to be called anti-american during the bush administration, especially between 2001-2005, if you said that bush sucked.

democrats don't have any power except to shoot their mouth off. they aren't doing shit.

Really?

Seems JoRR isn't familiar with the many forms of resistance.

Btw, here is a link about the Tea Parties. A bunch of polling and surveys led the media to believe somewhere between 10-30% of Americans considered themselves part of the movement. That's a lot of people.

I've never said the Tea Party movement didn't happen. It obviously got many candidates elected. But it wasn't a movement designed to remove the elected president. It was a much more localized movement focused on taking Congressional seats. I have no problem with Congress resisting the president. That's the way the system is supposed to work.

Every one of those links states that they are seeking to influence Congress to reject the Trump agenda. If that's not republican Democracy, I don't know what is. How is that bad?

Do you really think they aren't close? If not, I really don't know what media you're consuming.

You're right.

More people probably identified as Tea Party supporters than there are Hillary supporters.

I think your wrong. There were certainly some who truly believed Obama was a Kenyan and thus he would ultimately be removed from office based upon existing and applicable law. Nobody in their right mind actually thinks that HRC will somehow be magically appointed to office. There is no legal path for that to happen.

a significant percentage of the professoriate does (for better or worse). that's about all I have seen (except on the tay-vay)
