I could see this being a thing back when people depended on newspapers and TV to know what's going on (though I'm still not sure why everyone needs to know the president's every move), but the invention of the internet and the rise of social media has made such coverage unnecessary.

The media used to just follow the president if he was doing something actually related to his job. Before 1970, having people constantly following a president would've looked idiotic.

Why can't we go back to that? God knows I've gotten sick of the breathless coverage of Obama filling out his March Madness brackets.

The 24 hour Facebook news cycle is another reason why people probably tired on Obama near the end.

I'm not a Democrat, and didn't vote for him, but I thought he was doing a passable job, so the the glowing "Obama once again brings class and dignity to the office by wearing snazzy necktie" items that kept popping up on the feed got annoying.

I don't blame him at all, but, as someone else said, it's hard to follow one administration when you are of the same general temperament.

Al Gore kinda fell into that trap post Clinton, everyone thought that 8 years of glowing economy and general world stability would mean he'd just waltz into the office and all they had to do was keep painting Dubya as a rube and they'd win...

THey've clearly learned nothing.

Honestly the amount of parallels you can make to this election and the 2000 one are amazing. Republican candidate who's main media coverage was just calling him an idiot repeatedly loses the popular vote but wins the electoral, libs everywhere flip their shit acting like he's going to end the world the second the win is announced.
Except now it's 100x worse because everyone has twitter and facebook and all that other bullshit to share their political hot takes and whip each other up into a hysterical frenzy far beyond reason.
Ironically I posted pretty much this exact post on my twitter and got an angry reply saying "except trump is way worse than bush ever was" so uh. Thanks for proving my point?

Well, we should probably get ready for a wave of anti John Stewart salt. He was just on CNN This Morning talking about the outcome of the election. He was calm and reasonable as usual, mostly blaming the republicans angry with the Republican party for Trumps victory. He also mentioned that not everyone who voted trump was a horible person. And then went on to say everyone who are calling all people that voted for Trump racist are hypocrites. Saying they are doing the same thing as the people claiming all Muslims are terrorists. Monolithing was the term he used.

Coming to get you if you're a Trump voter. Or perhaps a cake. That looks like a cake knife to me.

I need to make a slight corection, and I am unable to edit my original post. I meant to write CBS This Morning, not CNN This Morning.
