Hillary Clinton storing highly classified information on a private server that had less protection than a free GMail account.

Then lying about it and destroying 33,000 of them.

Quite different from posting stupid shit on Twitter.

Look at the "Not My President" signs, bumper stickers, and slogans chanted on the news...those exact same signs were shown by crowds back when Obama was voted in, but they were widely derided as "racist" and disrespectful of the presidency. Now? They're everywhere once again, waved proudly and openly and approved by sagely nodding heads all over the place.
Now that it's "safe" to make fun of the (white) president again and openly criticize him, people are getting back into the usual swing of things and making the most of it.
You've gone from a president who could apparently do no wrong and was pretty much immune from any serious satire and criticism on a personal level no matter what he did, to one who hasn't even been given a chance yet to do anything wrong but who it is safe to poke fun at endlessly. You must be so relieved. Have fun!

Speaking only for myself here, both Bush and Trump are miserable failures at the type of person being president demands. Obama, not so much. Honestly, his color made no difference to that whatsoever.

A lot of what people are doing to oppose Trump now seems "a bit odd" on the same grounds.
