Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?
Obama was called every name in the book and accused of every crime in the book. I know this because I am a conservative who paid attention to the criticisms of conservatives the whole time (and agreed with a lot of it).However, despite a few indiscretions here and there - such as when he told voters to look upon Republicans as “enemies” - Obama mostly presented himself in a respectable manner. (Though let’s make sure to differentiate between presentation and policy.)Trump, on the other hand, is the guy who responded to Ben Carson challenging him in the polls by calling him a pedophile. And that was hardly an isolated incident. He deals with women who dare oppose him by calling them ugly and disgusting. He frequently throws out insults and stupid accusations at men as well, such as when he questioned Mitt Romney’s religiosity (though Trump himself poses as a Christian when he clearly has never read the Bible) or when he suggested that Ted Cruz was morally compromised because he borrowed money from Wall Street (though Cruz had already paid off those loans and Trump owes massive funds to Wall Street to this day).Trump has said that political correctness is killing the country and that everyone is too thin-skinned. Anyone who agrees with him on that probably should not be so easily offended or distressed when people call Trump names. Trump himself should not be sensitive and thin-skinned either…but the way he reacts to criticism suggests that he is the most thin-skinned and hypersensitive president ever. Can you imagine Obama or Bush throwing a poorly spelled hissy fit on Twitter?And before one demands that the President be respected, one should first demand that the President be respectable.
What do you think about Trump supporters being physically attacked?
I’ve not seen many Presidential elections in my lifetime but from the few I can recall they were nothing like this. This whole election is an utter disaster. You have presidential front-runners engaging in “Twitter battles” for the world to see.Trump and Cruz Continue Bizarre Twitter Battle Over Their WivesYou have republicans comparing the hotness of their wives as if that is a valid criteria for electing someone and people calling Michele Obama a man because her husband mispronounced her name once in 2011, causing detrators to assert that she’s actually man and President Obama is gay.Michelle Obama IS “Michael LaVaughn Robinson” Shockingly Barry Calls His Wife Michael Not Michelle | AlternativeAnd then later she was compared to a gorilla.“Gorilla face Michelle” Obama only attractive to “monkey man Barack”: WA mayor refuses to resign after racist Facebook rantYou additionally have a hate crime being carried out in Trump’s name‘Trump!

It’s a sign of not having a very good argument, when you resort to violence to prove your pointGet it together, America.
