(86,008 posts). . . many of these same folks want to tell us now how much they feel betrayed by his presidency. Somewhere along the way, THEY were uninformed, or misinformed, and they want to convince us now that they really know the score.
I don't know how much his race plays out in those representations here, but I do know that there is a vital need for folks who take the time to accurately represent the president's and his administration's opinion. That aspect of the discussion is often left to opinion and hyperbole; rejecting attempts to set the record straight as 'talking points' and sockpuppetry'.
I mean, it's not as if there isn't enough opposition to the administration opinion here in these threads. Plenty of room here for what usually amounts to a rebuttal of a majority of posts. The whining and lashing out is ridiculous and looks desperate; most of it just one-liners and snark. It's no wonder why supporters of this historic presidency feel slighted when their attempts to represent this president's positions and opinion are labeled as shills by posters with low-info threads work to rally opinion against one position or the other with rhetoric and fact-free arguments.
It's no wonder why these same critics of this administration and president reject links and evidence which refutes their opinionating and editorializing.
