This is the account's M.O. You can see my response above, but basically as far as I can tell they're deeply conservative, and they try and position themselves as a like "rational centrist" by doing this "both sides" Dance.

The giveaway that you've noticed, is they never actually condemn the existing administration without also comparing them to Obama (and for reasons beyond me, specifically Obama and not say, Biden, Bush 1/2, Clinton).

Here he is 36 days ago doing the same thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=RickJWagner&next=466...



big hint: how many computer-literate people do you know that would put their whole-ass name as their HN handle, in 2026? none i'd professionally associate with, thats for sure

I mean, I think the internet would be better if folks didn't share theinr in-humane and, frankly, monstrous opinions.

Do better, brah.

Why is this your primary concern?


because in his mind "it's worse to be a hypocrite than it is to torture children."

He just doesn't realize how he's also a hypocrite, so he can't hold himself accountable to his own opinion.


Well, doing 3 parts of a 4-part matrix just makes him look like your run of the mill racist. Easy math.

Almost all the folks who I know who are cool with Trump but don't like Obama are some flavor of birther.

Having an excuse for why you still haven't filled out the fourth-quadrent "unknown unknowns", doesn't make you "better".

It's entirely possible to dislike BHO for racist reasons, just like it's possible to think both he and the Bushes are literal war criminals for consistent reasons.

I think GWB is a war criminal who had a better understanding of North/South migration than BHO. I still think both of them, and about anyone who supports DJT for any reasons, are pretty vicious.

And, like I said, literal all folks who like DJT and dislike BHO are birthers of various stripes. That's my lived experience. Maybe you're some kind of unicorn, who knows.

I mean, why don't you lose your mind that Trump is doing it? If it was so bad when Obama did it, then you're the hypocrite here.
