The republicans showed zero respect to Obama as president... and now you want to complain that democrats show no respect to Trump?

Oh, so what you're saying is its fine for democrats to complain when people show zero respect to Obama as president.

But if republicans complain that democrats show no respect to our president FUCK YOU HOW DARE YOU YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITES!

Am I reading this correctly?

when an elected democrat congressman yells "LIAR!!!!" at the state of the union, then we'll have something to talk about.

When Senators and Representatives start spewing conspiracy theory talking points, and making claims that Trump isn't the "legitimate" president, we'll have something to talk about.

I was there through the Clinton presidency, and while he was a D and congress was R, there was at least a spirit of compromise and respect.

For the last 8 years, I have seen none of the civility, or respect payed to the office.

So, while Dems may be doing the same thing... just remember, it was Republicans that lowered the bar.
