So you agree the place is a mess, but the bloke who was in charge while it became a mess gets a free pass? It's bizarre.
The one I like is when people claim Trump's election was fuelled by racism, when his election relied on the votes of millions of people who had previously voted a black man into office.

So how does that work exactly? Obama was such a bad President he turned people racist?
