Projection is what Democrats do best as former president Barack Obama recently demonstrated after he accused Republicans of weaponizing the justice system against their political enemies and rigging the election.
So Obama has just perfectly described what Democrats have been doing to President-elect Donald Trump these past four years
During an appearance at the ‘Democracy Forum, Obama said:
“Since total victory is impossible in a country politically split down the middle, the result is a doom loop of government gridlock, even greater polarization, wilder rhetoric, and a deepening conviction among partisans that the other side is breaking the rules and has rigged the game to tip it in their favor.”
He added: “One side tries to stack the deck and lock in [very long pause].
“A permanent grip on power, either by actively suppressing votes or politicizing the armed forces or using the judiciary criminal justice system to go after opponents.”
Talk about the pot calling the Kettle black.
Obama continued by underscoring that pluralism is “not about holding hands and singing Kumbaya” but “about recognizing that any democratic power comes from forging alliances and building coalitions and making room in those coalitions, not only for the woke but also for the waking.”
Besides looking dishevelled and worried, Obama comes across as a man who knows payback is coming.
It’s also worth noting that this isn’t the first signal that Obama is running out of material for his arguments as the walls close in.
Earlier this month, Obama recycled the now debunked “very fine people” narrative and the “Muslim ban during a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “Maybe you’re Muslim-American or you’re Jewish-American and you’re furious about the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of anti-semitism,” said Obama.
Obama then repeated another lie.
“Why would you place your faith in someone who instituted a so-called Muslim ban,” he added. Obama asserted that Trump “said that there were very fine people on both sides of the white supremacist rally,” Obama said.
Even the fact-checking website Snopes was forced to correct the false claims that Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people” after the Charlottesville protests in 2017.
