LMAO, trump has built a gestapo, is terrorizing and murdering people, and is now trying to take over large parts of the world, Hitler style, and you're talking about Obama? Fucking hell.

Not very big on history I see. Go look up who first appointed Tom Homan.

Thank you for making that clear in your first reply, and have a nice evening.

You realize that trump was impeached twice by the dems and the republicans wouldn't let that happen? There are so many things to focus on right now, Obama isn't one of them.

You also have a nice evening.

We expect the republicans to build fascism. We don't expect the only opposition to fascism at the federal level to maintain and expand those same institutions.

The dems expect us to vote for them, but fund Trump's gestapo at every opportunity.

Obama and Boden and most Dems are similar to Van Papen in that they thought they could just restrain fascism and it would pass. Instead, by attempting to restrain it, they emboldened fascism and allowed it to thrive.

But they are not cancer itself. Fascism is. They were just unfit to provide any opposition to it.
