Everyone should criticise the POTUS, like a requirement.
I lived in rural Idaho during the Obama years. The amount of times I had to listen to grown ass men fantasize about shooting or lynching the President was insane. Constant racist and derogatory statements.
My grade school girls reported the boys on their bus would also talk about racist things all the time including killing Obama. The kid that won the Kiwanis award at school made a joke about not being black and the whole school assembly laughed.
But as soon as their mango god king took power, just like Bush before him, it was suddenly disloyal to talk shit. Hell, you would lose your job for it and probably get a visit by the secret service.
Literally why we have the 1st Amendment.
The American way! Even George Washington got shit!
