Im aware that Obama is worthy of criticism, but it feels disingenuous to compare him to Trump? They're polar opposites.
You can compare anything to anything like what is that even supposed to mean? Thats just as nonsensical as saying you cant compare apples and oranges. They are/were both US presidents they are some of the most comparable people in the world. I even pointed out one of their differences saying Obama was only (mostly actually) slaughtering people outside of the US. Obama is a war criminal by any reasonable definition. Is he better than Trump? Yes. Is he a lying murderous piece of shit? Also yes. One thing that is worse about Obama than Trump though, is that Obama was pretending to be a good guy while Trump is just open about being a piece of shit. That made it harder to politically organize against Obamas policies. Obama also actually got a Nobel Peace Prize and people just went with it like it was a totally normal thing to happen. Like obviously Trump is way more horrible than Obama but why would that make them incomparable?
