In reply to the discussion: CNN finally says it: The real reason Trump is so dead set on crushing Obamacare [View all]ProfessorPlum
(11,253 posts)38. I call bullshit on this sentence:
"Obama -- and his beliefs about society and government -- were the antithesis of what they believed"
They know little to nothing about Obama's actual policy positions. The only positions they think they know come from their projection of their fears on to him. The only "belief" that Obama held that they knew they disagreed with was that a black person could hold political power in the US.

IMO, it is ENTIRELY about race. Trump and much of his base hate that we had a black president.
