Far more liberals will acknowledge it if Trump does well
I doubt it. You still have those on the left saying Reagan was a disaster.
Obama actually did quite well for the Country and the economy
That's very debatable, to put it mildly. The recovery was one of the weakest on record. Of course that's just looking at overall results rather then the results of Obama's decisions and policy. As I said to inode presidents typically get more credit and blame than they deserve (and in Obama's case, and probably in others, both more credit and more blame, depending on who's talking about him), but there is little reason to see many of his decisions as economically positive.
Liberals generally embrace science and reality
anti-GMO, anti-vaccination, belieft that world starvation is just around the corner, believing that government can nearly endlessly impost costs on corporations or the rich with little or no harmful results.... All of these and more are far more common on the left than on the right. (Which is not to say that conservatives are all about embracing reality either just that all major political groups, and maybe all, certainly most, of the minor ones as well, all have there own sets of distorted beliefs about reality.) |
