our biggest concern was when W would say something and we collectively said, “dafuq did he just say?!”

Didn't he torture people and found an agency that fingers your asshole when you fly?

I naively thought Obama would address that, but the finger banging and torture continue. We just don't talk about it much anymore.

Bro I was piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised when he said

It was the Obama presidency that completely disillusioned me of making any real change via election. I wish I could explain how much I poured my heart into campaigning for Obama in 08. The progressive who campaigned was not the same as the conservative we got in office.

I realize it's better than the alternative, and we did see some small progress for LGBTQ+ rights and the tiniest glimmer of hope in DACA, but nothing that could gloss over the many atrocities he signed off on.
