A friend of mine shared this image to her Facebook page, and I saw it in my news feed. I assume many of you have seen this over the past few days as well. What does it tell you about people who share it? What has happened to the power of critical thinking? The President is credited with things he had no part of, while ignoring the things for which he is actually responsible, many of which are contrary to "liberal" values, including killing American citizens with no due process using drone strikes, initiating military actions in foreign countries (like the drone strike bombings in Yemen the day after the election), and broadening the governments powers of surveillance and indefinite detention. The states passed referenda on gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana. In fact, the DEA, a federal agency accountable to the President, has already said they will be enforcing federal drug laws, thereby overriding the state laws. I just don't get it.
