On second thought I'm looking at this comment again. This person is only 25 years old. They would have been 21 in 2016 and 17 in 2012. Some Libs in their early/mid 20s who didn't pay enough attention during their teens might legitimately believe this "most important election" bullshit because they're not old enough to remember when the Dems pulled this same bullshit in 2004, using "Dubya bad" to scare progressives into supporting the bland-as-fuck flip-flopping Iraq-invasion-supporting loser that was John Kerry. They used the "we're running against the party of Bush" line in 2008 pretty damn hard too, although at that time progressives thought they were actually getting a good deal with Obama (reminder that this is pre-Occupy Wall Street, at which point US working-class consciousness was somewhere in the neighborhood of brain-dead).
Anyone who thinks Trump is a bigger threat then W. Bush is either young, or has brainworms-induced amnesia. He and Cheney were truly vile creatures, and the Invasion of Iraq was much worse then calling the troops "losers", but libs love to white-wash Bush.
Remember in 2006 when crowds of mostly-Mexican undocumented migrant workers came out of the woodwork on May Day in an attempt to strike and march for their rights and the feds just quietly deported a bunch of them later in retaliation when people stopped paying attention? I sure didn't, until I was reminded that the "Day without an Immigrant" protests happened over 10 years later. The CBP crackdowns in Portland are a mere extension of this, just with the mask off.
