At A Guess

Joe Gandelman of The Moderately Amusing (And Reliably Liberal) Voice pens on political polarization in the US and challenges our imaginations with this toughie:

If Republicans and conservatives make the very legitimacy of
Obama, his patriotism — even the safety of allowing little kids listen
to him tell them to stay in school and think about helping their
community — the issue, and link his name to Hitler and/or Nazism,
precisely how do they think Democrats and the left will respond next
time a GOPer is in power? How will the next Republican President be
treated in terms of legitimacy and doing what he/she feels is in the
best interest of the country?
let's try - I predict wild movies alleging the President is in cahoots with foreign terrorists and domestic criminals, prominent Democrats alleging that the President conspired to kill thousands of Americans, constant linkage of the Republican President with Hitler, and an ongoing denial of his legitimacy.  At a guess.
