OPINION:
Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, penned a social media message in the hours after President Trump was nearly assassinated — again — that called for calmer voices and cooler heads in the political realm; that said, “It’s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.”
And then he stopped laughing and hit “post” and called 1-800-BUY-BRIK — his speed dial source for pallets of bricks used by Democrat-voting supporters during their various peaceful street protests.
Obama, the guy who paid a billion-plus in cash to Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of terror, so it wouldn’t pursue development of a nuclear bomb, wink, wink. Obama, the guy who vowed to “fundamentally transform” America — the country he truly loves, wink, wink. Obama, the community activist who ran for White House office, saying Americans are “not subjects,” but rather “citizens,” and as such are “defined not by race or religion or gender or sexual orientation, but by a commitment to a common creed” — wink, wink — and who then went on to govern as a Marxist, drumming up divisions based on religion and gender and sexual orientation and race.
Obama is about as opposed to using violence as a tool of politics as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who in the lead-up to this most recent assassination attempt against Trump, called for “maximum warfare” to “crush” MAGA and conservatives. Now he wants unity. Now he says Democrats don’t even want to impeach Trump.
Let’s be real. Or, as Obama might say, “Let me be clear.”
It’s not that Democrats favor violence as a political tool.
It’s more that Democrats don’t disfavor it as a political tool. In other words: It’s an option to them. It’s on the table. It’s a potential.
And that is what separates the two main parties right now. One sees America in a positive light and wants to achieve the best for the American citizens; the other thinks America is beyond repair and, as such, throwing a few Molotov cocktails here and there only hastens its necessary demise. It’s not that Democrats necessarily desire violence. It’s that they don’t mind unleashing whirlwinds of lawlessness by using rhetoric that encourages and entices their heavily medicated, noneducated, socialist-communist-Marxist-anarchist and illegal citizen base to do what needs to be done to win politically, wink, wink.
Obama has been the biggest winker of them all.
“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind [the] shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner,” he wrote on X, wink, wink, as if the shooter could have simply been upset with room service and not necessarily Trump, “it’s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.” Wink, wink.
Duplicity, deception, dishonesty: It’s how the Democrats roll.
