      Judging from Turkey, a politics of "victimization" from and resentment of the past (Obama) can fuel current admin politics... oh, a decade,

      The dynamics fueling this political moment aren't going to age out. ("Surely, in two years, won't still be citing...". Yep, they will).

      I'd watch: all upcoming elections and the economy above all, and how much pressure from constituents GOP legislators feel.

      And judging from elsewhere, fixing media and new media failings / corruption and Dem incompetence are best uses of energy "internally".

      Whatever else, whataboutists are the worst. Things can be imperfect to bad before, *and* get much worse. Whataboutism is the soul killer.

      Whataboutism: "Obama deported three million." People, at least check snopes. Mostly an accounting trick vs. this: https://www.buzzfeed.com/adolfoflores/girl-records-immigration-arrest-of-father …

      I'm an immigrant and a refugee advocate. I wouldn't have Obama policies. But pretending it is just more of the same is nihilism.

      Much of Obama "three million deported" was people at the border being bussed right back, no entry, called "deportation." Not this.

          Sure but you can see where the perception of it as a mere difference of degrees is a huge problem, right?

          Obama: "removals" at border (without entry) called "deportations" went way up. Interior actual deportations—down. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/jul/15/lou-dobbs/lou-dobbs-obama-administration-manipulated-deporta/ …pic.twitter.com/5SKxztm42V

          Ironically, this is mostly actually correct. Border "deportations" up, internal down. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/jul/15/lou-dobbs/lou-dobbs-obama-administration-manipulated-deporta/ …
