But then the first black president was elected, and the racist part of the Republican Party led them to go into full scale obstruction mode.  Obama wasn’t given too much chance to be liberal.  He was lucky to get Obamacare through before the congress locked down.  Trump was still reacting to that instinct.  Everything Obama was to be undone.  It was as if he were out to prove that everything Obama was reprehensible.

Obama also had an agenda to be a good person.  Between Obama and Trump, it became clear that the pigment of one’s skin didn’t say a lot about character.  If Obama dedicated much of his energy to being a good president, a good man, the contrast with Trump may have cemented the difference between the two.

Now they have for the moment another white male president.  The blackmailer In chief is out of office, though he may take a good part of his base with him.  Note how folks like Classic and Xenakis are still lapping up his perspective.  The Republicans may or may not still be Trump’s party, still the party of obstructionism, with domestic spending treated as socialism and un American.  Thus, the working man and minorities are the enemy, much to be trampled on.

I am most curious to see if the Republican obstructionism is still dominant, with the Georgia elections and going into the mid terms.  At some point you would think they would be more concerned with helping America than hurting Democrats.  The racists and elites made their point.  They maximized the division of wealth, and presented skin pigmentation as more important than the people.  

Will they be able to project the old values and win?  Will enough people who switched over in rejection of Trump stick.  Will the old progressive time of tax and spend liberalism make America great again?

Obama didn't want to be an LBJ-style social democrat and was never going to govern that way even if the Democrats kept both houses.

He wanted to be like him or FDR but he couldn't get away with it back then or today or tomorrow for that matter. The racists and the elites made their point by backing Biden. Evidently, Trump was to much for them to handle. Like I said, racism is to lucrative for the party of racism ( The Democratic party) to let go of these day. Poverty is also to lucrative for them to let go of as well. Climate change to lucrative as well. There's a few trillion riding on climate change right now and a few trillion more riding on propping up failing institutions and Democratic run governments/states. You better get up to speed and figure out where the other half of the country is at compared to where you and every other Liberal fool is at these days. According to you and every other Liberal fool, the dumb people like me shouldn't be here jarring with highly intelligent people like yourself. We're supposed to be backwards or old fashioned and supposed to be ignorant/dumb and not as well advanced technology wise. I laugh to myself  every time a dumb Liberal tells me that these days.

As far the Republicans, the Republicans can help their fellow Americans by proving their worth to them by hurting the Democrats, or for better terms, playing the same fucking game as the lowly Democrats have been playing the entire 3T. YOU FUCKED YOURSELF AND HALF THE COUNTRY DOESN'T CARE THAT YOU AND EVERY OTHER DEMOCRATIC VOTER FUCKED YOURSELVES. Do you pay any attention to the dumb fuckers on your side these days? YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM IS BASED ON AMERICA REMAINING TOGETHER AND YOUR DUMB FUCKERS ARE STILL OUT THERE PISSING OFF HALF THE COUNTRY AND GETTING BENT OUT OF SHAPE WHEN THE OTHER SIDE REACTS TO THEIR SHIT WITH EQUAL KIND. Like I said, I could care less about the Democrats and I could care less about the Democratic influenced portion of the Republicans as well. They can live under tyranny and get used to the idea of having no say or power to do much of anything like they do now forever. Like I said, we won't be fighting over slavery this time around like you still seem to think these days.
