cool, it’s self focused, and member berries a white washed version of events, just don’t be surprised when others don’t have that same fuzzy feeling over that period of time
Obama's administration is still fondly remembered by a supermajority of African-Americans. Maybe don't try to whitewash the lived experiences of oppressed demographics in favor of an abstract online political circlejerk.
What 'fuzzy feeling' over a period of time are we expecting, by the way? People judge their circumstances relative to the circumstances they've experienced; who among us has been alive for a better president than Obama? Perhaps some sexagenarians, if they prefer forgiving the brutal Vietnam War in light of LBJ's domestic accomplishments. You can say the limbo bar is in hell, and you wouldn't be wrong, but I re-emphasize the quadruple amputee comparison - people are not wrong to fondly remember when things were LESS fucked.
