    Basically what happened in Canada too. Trudeau defunded federal programs, capped immigration and gave tax cuts and to no one’s surprise, the right still hate him

      For the entirety of Obama’s presidency, republicans demonized the ACA, a healthcare plan created by Mitt Romney when he was governor. For years, they went on about “repeal and replace.” Republicans even embraced the Clinton campaign’s birther conspiracy. Obama upheld the Bush Doctrine, deported more people than Bush, and implemented republican economics to deal with the recession.

      They still make effigies of the guy years after he’s left office.

      I’ve joked about it before, but the left would have an easier time doing entryism to right-wing parties and passing progressive policies while no one is looking.
