Trump was honestly the biggest shock they've ever had

The Obama rule was comfortable for them.

And they're doing everything they can to neutralize him in 2018 with Democrat victories up and down the country

And then finally get rid of him in 2020

I like how when Obama was president everyone was saying “stop being political”.

And that it was wrong to talk politics.

If literally any other republican had been the president

The #Resistance wouldn't exist

I feel like that adds the fun to it though. And so much entertainment to laugh at.

People like Ted Cruz are very conservative but they don't pointlessly go after liberal just for the sake of it

Well I actually take this shit seriously

I do as well. I just like to have some fun. But I see what you’re saying.

I feel like the #resistance would still exist, but just in a much smaller form.

I'd rather not have hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of insanely pissed off Democrats who are dedicating this year to defeating us

Yea that is true.

They've always existed these type of people

But as soon as the election results were announced, this just proliferated hugely

I’m honestly kind of glad I was to young to be political during the age of Obama’s.

Lol I started early

I remember having this memory where my elementary school was having an ”election” to see which candidate the kids in the school like more.

I voted Romney, but Obama won overall.

I actually ended up volunteering in 2012

My state had a Democrat Senator and we managed to turn that red in 2012

God I can only imagine how /pol was during those election nights.

The depression must have been real.

2012 was a car crash tbh

Todd Akin killed us

We would have taken the Senate in 2012 without him

I never felt confident Romney would win, he was just too milquetoast

I didn't think he would win

But we could at least take the Senate and pretty much ground Obama to a halt

Democrats grew in Congress because Obama's rock-solid Black base actually showed up to to vote in 2012

And we had some absolute retards in the tea party ruin it for us

Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin lost us 2 Senate seats on their own.

And they almost certainly had a nation wide impact (which would have lost us North Dakota for sure and probably Montana also)

Hey does anyone know how to make like a reddit bot?

I browsed /pol/ quite a bit in 2012

@GermanEastAfrica Conservatives have always been more quiet about openly talking about their political opinions

there was this group of people circlejerking that Romney was going to win

Back in the Nixon days they called it the "silent majority"

That phrase sort of made a comeback in 2016
