Has anyone noticed the uptick in liberal nostalgia for the Obama Era in recent months?

Maybe this comes on the heels of Mamdani’s mayorship and how Mamdani largely reminds shitlibs of Obama. But regardless, I’m seeing a lot of these people romanticize the late-2000s-early-2010s time as being one where “America was flourishing” and “politics was civil”. As if Obama didn’t break every single promise he made. As if Obama didn’t engage in far more foreign interventions than GWB and the Neocon gang, albeit through proxy armies and drone warfare. As if Obamacare wasn’t a massive boost for the health insurance companies. Not to mention how Obama did nothing for the Black community.

As a side note, I’m also seeing these same exact shitlibs romanticize Occupy Wall Street. As someone who took part in Occupy and who slept in Zuccotti Park, I clearly remember how much liberals HATED Occupy when it first took off. They were telling us something along the lines of: “You commies and anarkids need to STFU and let Obama do his job.” Now, I’m seeing liberals say Occupy was the last attempt of implementing left-wing populism in America, and that the corporate media deliberately pushed identity politics right after Occupy ended in order to divide-and-conquer the population so they would never rise up against the billionaires again. I mean, where were all these people when we were getting brutalized by the NYPD? Pathetic.

americans have perpetual amnesia and always develop nostalgia for 2+ presidents ago. they are completely retarded and beyond helping. my braindead alcoholic mother in law started dickriding hunter biden recently after he "owned trump" in a post and I had to remind her that all these people are ghouls and war criminals never to be trusted, and she started getting super defensive like I was attacking her friends or family. we are a braindead country. xi please spare me from 40-50 more years of this nonsense with nuclear fire.

Are you going to deny this country was on a better track with Obama? This past decade has just been the "Revenge of the Boomer Cracker" arc. We're just waiting for the day we can get back to where we were in 2016 once these Fox News boomer tire themselves out or finally kick the bucket.

>>2845772
this happens with all presidents
regan was viewed as demented and asleep at the wheel and sometimes saying extreme stuff. then he had a load of scandals and the economy shat the bed twice. but now he's that folksy old man who was one of the best presidents ever and the economy was roaring and everything was great

Obama was still an imperialist. When has there ever been a “good” Amerikkkan president?

Reagan was miles ahead of Trump.

>>2845772
Sounds about right.

>politics was civil
Politics weren't even civil by lib standards either. Republicans were constantly seething about how Obama was a Muslim socialist Kenyan antichrist who hated America and wanted to kill all white people.

>>2845776
>Can't into "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"
I guess the real dichotomy is incrementalism vs. accelerationism. So Trump was the "mask-off" accelerationist choice and how much closer is the DTR(Day of the Revolution)?

I thought too that destroying America's reputation on the world stage was worth something(still think it's deserved) but what did it do? The Euro cucks will slobber the sphincter of whoever is the American president, even if he's talking about invading Greenland or whatever.

I guess I hope the lesson people learn from that is that the rest of the 1st world is completely useless. There is no daylight between them.

culture nostalgia works on 20 year rule, right now fashion industry and teens are wanting to emulate the 2000s.

But i fully expect a revisionist history of the obama years to come into fruition in the 2030s, a rose tinted liberal one where they pretend he accomplished hope and change and didnt lead to trump by bailing out the banks

Overall, culturally i hated the 2010s, nothing but remake and cape shit movies, music got whittled down pop and pop rap, the only thing that was good to me was maybe tv. shit like breaking bad or game of thrones.

I mean this isnt to mention how around obamas second term the liberals turn into hyper moral police which creates a reaction that led to the rise of the alt right and an endless exhausting culture war.

lincoln if he hadn't done pic related
FDR bad because he saved capitalism from revolution

Unappreciative autistic faggot. Maybe you are too young to remember the 00s. We're living in the post Obama-woke era, here you are blaming them for going too far. This is the post anti-bullying era where you would've been way more opressed. And you support the cracker backlash. Shit's crazy to me. All the trans-nazis and etc.

Never trust a biracial with a white mother.

morality is a spook, wheter it come from woke libtards or right wing evangelicals

>>2845801
I mean, this goes for the whole aut-right, like, these are people are only tolerated by the efforts of liberals, and then they throw their whole support behind the 1950s-nostalgic conservatives.

>>2845803
Don't you have that backwards Black Power anon? Isn't it the race of the father that decides? What is your argument for the mother being the decider? Do you have a theory? I guess the absentee father theory certainly works as is the case with Obama, but what if he was raised by his Black father?

White women can’t do Black hair and install white supremacist epistemology in the minds of their children.

>>2845811
>White women can’t do Black hair
Why would your mother be "doing" your hair as a boy?
>and install white supremacist epistemology in the minds of their children.
This is exactly what they say about hapas which typically trend to White father Asian mother. Why do you think that the children would lean more towards a White mother vs White father.

I'm going to presume that Pan-Africanism flag poster is Black. It's funny that some Black people are like:
>Fuck biracial people! Why do they side with their White half?
I wonder. I think it's my White half that makes me side with Black Americans.
