PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...

To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

Every aspect of the Obama presidency feels like a lost golden age compared to where we are now.    The worst day under Obama was better than the best day under Trump.

MAGA still prefers the worst of Trump than best of Obama

Obama was superior to the plight we face today. The current admin won’t even admit it when they do F up.

When Obama won, the streets seemed to practically fill with people celebrating.

When Trump won people cried for fear of their lives.

The streets will one day fill with people celebrating again. When Trump drops dead.

They want to believe that the worst white man is still better than the best coloured man. The worst like no one ever was.

Listening to MAGA Republicans say that they cannot afford the latest Trump policy, and then back it by saying they're loyal Trump Republicans and calling on Trump to do something, almost makes me feel sad for them. They act like abuse victims who cannot bring themselves to admit that they're being abused. Of course, keyword, almost.

That’s a pretty wide gap.
