And the Right Wing Goes Wild!

The Obamas have signed a multi-year deal with Netflix:

In an announcement on Monday, Netflix revealed that Barack and Michelle Obama had signed a multiyear deal to produce films and series.

The reaction from the trumpanzees is as might be expected. A couple of samples:





There's more at the link. You'll note that these examples are not unusually incoherent for right-wingers. It's also worth noting that the responses to these two, at least, are not terribly supportive.

At least Obama waited until he was out of office to capitalize on his presidency.

Footnote: There are way too many self-appointed pundits who keep insisting that we on the left have to understand these people and their concerns -- economic insecurity, changing society, blah, blah, blah. I do understand them: they are small-minded, petty, self-absorbed, vindictive people who resist anything contrary to what they "know", and what they "know" comes from demagogues and con artists. They need authority telling them what to do and what to think.

Vox has an interesting, and fairly disturbing article on at least part of this phenomenon, via Digby.
