Never mind the fact America's great new savior Trump has proclaimed that he alone can "fix the system" and make us great again. "Obama the Messiah"
has been the slogan behind the far Right's hate and contempt for the man before
he even took office.
History shows demagoguery has long been the path to power for authoritarians. Obama is guilty of his share of betrayals and sell outs, but never by being a demagogue.

Those few of us paying
attention in 2008 knew Obama had a corporatist nature. His Bush-appeasing
approval of the Fourth Amendment-defying FISA amendment that exonerated
telecoms for sharing our communications with the NSA was the first warning flag.
Obama swiftly appeased the
Right again when he removed the public option from the conservative Heritage
Foundation-inspired Obamacare.
Obama the "socialist
messiah" even offered to cut Social Security for his "grand
bargain".
Obama's support for the TPP
is further proof of his record of corporatist appeaser.
His "looking
forward" and ignoring the lies and treachery that led us to torture and the
debacle in Iraq was another clear indicator this man is no progressive, let
alone socialist.
ISIS was a direct product of
Bush's destruction of Iraq and dismissal of the Iraqi army. Now many of the
cult zombies buy into Trump's lie that Obama "founded ISIS".
Yet the far Right cult blames
Obama for this. And then they whine about their obvious racism at worst, and
stupidity at best, being called out for blaming the black guy for the damage
their white Republican leader caused. The same hate cult blames Obama for the
financial collapse and the Bush Recession.
Give me a f-ing break. If
these closed minded, vile, false Christian assholes are looking for respect,
they're not getting any from any sane and informed persons.
And if this is what many "good
Christians" believe, they will be in for a shock. These false beliefs
reflect only the willful hate and ignorance of sanctimonious hypocrites. I
doubt their "heaven" is full of hypocritical willful haters, for they
directly defy the commandments of their Savior. No wonder Ghandi said, "I
like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike
your Christ."
Many of them clearly, and deliberately, do not want to be like Christ. Greed is their god. Hate is their creed. Ignorance is their strength.
Instead of understanding
these facts, the far Right STILL parrots their "messiah" BS. They
truly embrace ignorance and believe their own crap, or are basically evil. They
promote their own concept of the "noble lie".
It may take a leap of faith
to be Christian, but it takes a giant leap of ignorance and hate to be a far
Right Christian. That giant leap of ignorance and hate is exactly what
con-servative Republicans nurture, and need, to dupe the American people into approving their suppression of democracy, letting Big Oil dictate environmental policy, and allowing the Kochs to dictate and dismantle our Constitutional regulation of commerce and providing for the general welfare.
