I think it's much much worse today. Then, it was "George Bush fucked it up, but here's a better way to do it!" and we could discuss and debate that. It was also very simple, single fuckups that tanked their popularity - a war or "read my lips, no new taxes etc". Today we're supposed to be outraged by the colors of their socks or called a Nazi for asking "is aiplanesexual really a gender".
There's no more discussion or debate. You know what happened man. We were in junior high when the paddles came down from above the blackboard. Then the PC police started telling us we can't call fat people fat, ugly people ugle, short people short, tall people tall, dumb people dumb, annoying people annoying and so on.... THAT of course lead straight to everyone getting participation trophies just for showing up and we stopped keeping score in little league.
Now those dickheads are adults. Self entitled adults who have never had to earn praise. They just expect it. They feel entitled to it. Obama played perfetly to that crowd with the constant "it's not your fault" rhetoric. That have been told they can do no wrong and if they "feel it", then it must be right.
I think what is freaking out people today more than anything is not only being told "it is your fault" but that the numbers are proving it.
Today these guys just head straight to "You're a Nazi", "You're a racist" and they don't even know what the topic itself is... much less have a plan to do anything about it, fix it or have better ideas, better candidates etc.
On a side note,... kinda amusing that you use "assholes" in the thread title and it was like basically blowing the silent asshole whistle to summon the usual extreme crowd.
