    I couldn’t believe a Republican president could get elected ever again.

    I am so disappointed with the US voting public. They will never again live it down.

      I couldn’t believe Obama continued or doubled down on all of Bush’s worst policies, and the formerly anti-war Democrats went completely silent. Michael Moore dropped off the face of the earth in 08.

        This frustrated the fuck out of me when it happened. In fact, it was a big disappointment all around, since Hope and Change was not at all forthcoming. In my own case Obama’s adherence to Bush doctrine and refusal to move the status quo much was what drove me from liberalism to the far left, and Bolsheck choruses have been following me around ever since.

          It drove me into nihilism (I’m a gen-xer so it wasn’t a long drive). I’ll never trust any of these assholes again.
