That you’re someone who’d just bitch about any of Trump’s actions whatsoever no matter how miniscule by the use of his [Cy] comparison of Joe Arpaio to ketchup. I’ve heard it enough from one of my Facebook-frequenting relatives.

I think he means the godlike status Obama seems to have gained within the Democratic party. I’m not blaming him personally for this but there has been a tendency within the party to completely look over his flaws and policy failures and instead view him as a sort of perfect architect of the modern American President: smart, deliverative, calm and measured. Such a view sours many who may not have brought into the hype or at the very least don’t turn a blind eye to some very real failures on his part as president. Like I said, I don’t blame Obama personally for this, rather I blame the party so bereft of viable candidates to field that they have to deify their most visible and powerful member in an attempt to make an appeal on behalf of the party to the people on the benefits of having a Democratic government in power. Now with no real visible Democrats except Hillary, Bernie, Warren, Schumer and Pelosi, the party is really struggling to find a standard bearer to unite behind. It doesn’t help that most of the Democratic base is divided behind the rightfully bitter Bernie supporters who want the party to move farther left, the Clinton remnants still loyal to the Clinton family’s brand of politics and Obama worshipers cursing the 22nd ammendment for preventing their hero from being elected to a third term. I honestly don’t see how they beat Trump in 2020 with what they’ve got. You can’t beat something with nothing, something I’d figured the party learned with Hillary’s ‘Trump Sucks’ general election campaign.

So, … is it now politically correct to not be politically correct?

No, but seriously, is “anti-PC” just PC from another direction?

No no, it’s not about that, it’s about not wanting people to take gun safety seriously, see when ever someone is killed by a gun, gun sales go up regardless of context, so the manufactures are motivated to not want any kind of gun violence curbed, mass shooting or a kid playing with a gun shooting the baby they profit either way,

And how many of those are caused by illegal or stolen firearms? And don’t you think some fault might lie with people mishandling them if they get into the hands of children?
 
How many children die from drinking bleach or other chemicals, but Clorox profits either way?

No. Trump is a cult of personality. The party apparatus isn’t really behind him as much as it is a one man show. Right now, theres the Dems, Reps and Trump all in DC. With Obama, the party appears to have built the aura around Obama externally. They praise everyting he does, photo-op at every opportunity, proclaim everything he does is great. Where Trump engaged in a hostile takeover for the face of the Republican party, Obama, who should be fading into the backround as an ex president in favor of rising stars in the party, is still figurehead of a party who revere him as perfect if only for a lack of any other high name talent. Honestly, Obama himself doesn’t seem to want the label as he knows it is now meaningless to him in his role as a private citizen and detrimental to a party in need of fresh faces.

I honestly don’t care whether DACA is legal or not  
The law can go screw itself for all I care  
DACA is right, the only difference between legal and illegal immigrants is the whether they are legal, and to me that difference doesn’t mean shit
 
That being said, Obama deported around 2 million immigrants in his career  
So screw himself as well
