They can't see it when it is right in front of them!

I remember several years ago. I was still married into a very conservative family. Sitting around on a Saturday afternoon, I would hear them talk about Obama. Things were said that Obama was ignoring the Constitution, that Obama would do all he could to stay in office, etc. There were many, many comparisons to Hitler!

Here we sit now under the Trump presidency. Just yesterday, he pardoned people who are big time white-collar criminals. Trump says over and over that he can do what he pleases, and makes claims of being this country's chief law enforcement official! We have a Senate that decided to not remove Trump from office before the impeachment articles were ever heard, and without considering any witnesses or evidence. Trump still has not released his tax records, AND he never put his interests into a trust and has regularly received profit through his interests from our government in violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause!

When I look at Trump presidency, especially as of late, I see an organized crime boss in charge of a large crime organization who happened to be elected to public office and is using said office to cater to his own interests, and that of criminals close to him! This man is EVERYTHING the conservatives said Obama was, and they can't see it when it slaps them in the face! How can they continue to follow him?
