Can you imagine if Obama did that? I can't.

We see it all over the interwebs

‘’Oh, can you imagine if Obama did (insert whatever major transgression Trump has just been exposed for), Republicans would go batshit crazy coming after him if he had ever done that, but they don’t go after Trump. HYPOCRITES’’

We all know that republicans are dishonest hypocrites but why should that mean we should imagine Obama committing criminal and immoral acts and acts of treason, and how republicans would have reacted to that, just to reaffirm what we already know about republicans? Obama is a great man who does great things and bringing up Obama in mythical comparisons with the conduct of the Traitor in Chief, is, I think, insulting to Obama and both his Presidency and legacy. Let’s face it they screamed at Obama for just being a black bloke while Presidenting. That is all they had, the racist fuckers and they are still wagging that tail today. Remember, there is a very good reason why we do not have any real-life comparisons between Obama and Trumps bad behaviour to go to, so why create hypothetical situations where Obama behaved in the way Trump behaves, when he very obviously would never ever do so? Particularly when the republicans try and blame everything wrong on Obama as it is. It is illogical.

Just say, "Thank God we had Obama for 8 years so nothing like this ever happened"

The "Thank God" part will get them.
