I hope you can take a step back and realize that this is one of the most blatant examples of mental gymnastics / cognitive dissonance that I personally have ever seen. In the face of direct, first-hand evidence that the Obama campaign did exactly the same thing that the media and social media ecosystem is now very angry at Trump for doing, your response is literally to go into denial about it, and insist that the evidence is inaccurate. You are essentially just yelling "fake news". This exact behavior, denying reality when it goes against what you want to believe, is how we get people insisting that climate change isn't real, and discrimination doesn't exist. Shame on you. I truly believe that you're better than this, please use this as a growing moment.
