So keep it up folks!

I don't get tired of anonymous people on social media who vent about the President and call Republicans names. Their opinions are relevant only to them.

But that's different, right?

Isn't that what Trump does?

But despite all of these things, I'm not looking for any possible opportunity to discredit him. I guess I don't see how ridiculing or criticizing someone at every opportunity will make things any better. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

One of my friends (typical obnoxious liberal type) on Facebook posted something about her situation with Obamacare and insurance. She said "Thanks Trump for making this a disaster". I replied and said "This isn't Trump's fault at all. If you want to blame someone, blame Obama, the democrats, and republicans in the past for not coming up with something better."

She said she still blames Trump...

It's perfectly reasonable to criticize him for making racist comments, etc. But why criticize him over something he didn't do or have any control over?
When did he make racist comments?

No they're not. The left keeps trotting out that fantasy, but it's not reality.

Good question. Democrats were warned that Obamacare wouldn't work but they pushed it anyway. People who didn't qualify for subsidies are now paying sky high premiums. If the insurance company is pulling out of Obamacare because they are losing too much money, she'll pay sky high premiums too. She's not going to like it and won't blame herself for supporting Obamacare in the first place.

Instead of fixing it, all Democrats did was defend it.
