They hated Obama because he expected them to be better than they were

[bigbrother05]

They didn't like to be reminded of their failings.

They love Trump because he's always worse than they ever imagined he could be. He sets the bar lower everyday so they don't have to do anything to exceed expectations.

Will they ever get tired of winning?

3. Disagree.They hated Obama because he was black & they love Trump because he's just as racist as them

9. Nothing PO's a racist more that a good man that is black

Forces them to jump through so many hoops to find flaws to point out to justify their racism. Add in being a spectacularly successful black man and you get Obama Derangement Syndrome.

You are right about Trump. He's so bad that it's easy to point out the many ways they are "better than the President". He legitimizes their twisted little world. "Yea, I'm a racist, misogynistic asshole, but Trump..."

4. Obama Was a Daily Reminder of Their Many Shortcomings and He Was Black

He was a continual challenge to their flawed belief systems.

5. Obama showed success is hard, Trump promised it's easy

6. Exactly. They love Trump because he tells them that it's okay to be an asshole.

7. A lot of folks who are being assholes at work

are finding out the hard way that that's not ok.

8. He WAS better than them, a man of impeccable integrity.

Plus his skin isn't white.
