His belief and portrayal of the current US administration is a good example of how the "progressives" actually see their own agenda and platform. Obama was black; that alone for them is literally a step towards a world utopia. 
I actually believed until just a few years ago that I could talk some sense into these people. 
P.S. a couple million people in California and New York are not representative of the USA. That is why they have the electoral system.
