What the hell is wrong with some people?

Post by Yukaphile »

I read that story about a four-year-old girl being brutalized by the TSA in 2012, and people actually fucking blamed OBAMA. Why?! Anyone with a brain should know this started with 9/11, in which Bush was President, not Obama. I guess there's a reason a lot of comedians find good material in the, "You can blame Obama for everything!" idea. Ugh...

They're using hyperbole in the same way people are blaming Trump for something in current year in order to show how absurd it is to do so. None of them actually think Obama is at fault for something that a TSA agent did to someone during his time in office, which is why it's absurd people with Trump Derangement Syndrome are doing that now.

I'm curious, would you cite that example as "Obama Derangement Syndrome?"
