That was then
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: That was then
Kinda like those who defended a republican congressman for heckling the President during the State of the Union speech, who are now offended by an actor talking to Mike Pence after a performance of Hamilton.
It's not just the MSM that has changed sides. It's everyone.
Check out a mirror. 
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: That was then
Does anyone know what "He's not my president" actually means?
I mean, the very idea is preposterous.
You live here.
You're American.
The president is the American president.
So how does "not my president" work?
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

It means, "I really, really don't like that guy". And since I don't like him, he can't be the legitimate leader.
I wonder if claiming that the President is not legitimate has always occurred.
It seems to be a staple of recent elections.
The First "He's not my President" moment I remember was in 1992.
Republicans really didn't like Bill Clinton,,, Adulterer, draft evader, etc,,,, so they said that Clinton didn't really win. He only got 43% of the vote, only won because of Ross Perot "stealing" votes from GHWB, yada yada.
Democrats returned the favor in 2000 when GWB lost the popular vote, but won the electoral college. I guy I don't like anyway lost the popular vote so,,, He's not my President.
Then Obama won decisively in 2008,,,, which presented a problem. But, abracadabra,,,,,,, because he was born in Kenya and was a secret Muslim,,, he's not one of us,,,,,,,,,, and well, He's not my President.
Hope that helps
