Did that with Obama utterly and completely too. Went from ardent fan to an incredibly passionate Obama hater.
But I dont not believe it will happen with Trump, the hate part I mean, but he will say he didnt really support him at the end of the day, only didnt want Hillary etc.

That's nothing wrong with Andy liking Obama initially and then changing his opinion once he spent more time in office. Just because he liked him in the beginning doesn't mean he has to like him forever. A lot of people were disappointed by Obama.
Ofcourse, but it happend incredibly quickly, and engaging him at the time, it was like he never ever supported/like Obama in any way.
It was pretty clear with Obama that he wasn't going to do what he campaigned on, simply by whom he appointed and observing his first few months. He campaigned on bringing jobs back to the middle class, prosecuting criminals on Wall Street, and having the most transparent administration in history. Lo and behold, he accomplished none of that. So why am I at fault for turning on him? Wouldn't it make less sense to support him now just because I voted for him initially? There is a big issue in this country with blindly supporting politicians, especially under Obama. I'm sure the same will happen under Trump if he's a complete disaster.
The biggest problem with guys like Andy and Zach is that they are upper middle class white guys, who rely on rich neocon white guys for information and opinions on minorities. The links they post, the opinions they share, are almost exclusively informed by rich white men who have absolutely no connection at all to or understanding of these communities.
And whether the MSM has its problems with manipulation and bias (it does), it gives a voice to the leaders of the African American community, to the leaders of the Muslim American community and so on... and those voices are of value and should be listened to and given far more weight when formulating opinions on those specific communities.
Instead, we have buffoons, thinking they know "the facts" because of some propaganda they read from a neocon think tank. It's gross. It's dishonest. And they should be utterly ashamed of themselves for being that gullible and disrespectful of these communities and the issues facing them.
What Neo-Con think-tank?
The problem we face is that everyone has an agenda. Whether the opinions come the left, right, or center, there is inherent bias. I'm all for listening to the concerns of African American or Muslim communities, but please remember Al Sharpton does not speak for all of the black community, just like BLM. At the end of the day, the most important concern of mine is economics, which naturally tends to shape our futures. I'm not a fan of perpetually throwing money into a system that doesn't work -- even 8 years after having a black President and tons of money thrown at urban problems, the majority of the problems still exist (i.e. poverty, crime, et cetera). At some point, the burden of changing your future must come from within.
To be fair to Andy, he receives parts of his information from coal miners in West Virginia.
Good one.

Andy should've played the lead role in 'The Lady Vanishes'.
Sounds like fun. Thanks for thinking of me.
