Obama isn’t smart, and his actual program comes from the extreme leftists behind him (Ayers and the gang, still frequent visitors at the WH). But he is incredibly ruthless and is fueled by an insane level of racial animosity which I think has enabled him to ignore any reasonable limits on his behavior. He sees these programs as being destructive of the object of his hatred, the West as personified by America, and he goes to bed every night gloating about having put another nail in its coffin. He runs on hate.
He’s also an utter and unabashed egomaniac.
“He runs on hate.”
Good observation. The hate he has for America will be returned ten-fold. Washington DC is under seige. My criminal senator can’t show his face in public without a platoon size praetorian guard surrounding him.
He runs on hate.
This thread has it, but our point has always been we are not dealing here with amateurs. They know how to manipulate the anaesthesized masses, just like Hollywood knows how to make a mass audience cry, laugh, rage, etc. despite the fact the entire production is phony.
And that to combat that will take extraordinary self-honesty, courage, integrity, and articulation. Qualities that simply do not show up in the Washington DC Republican Party resume. It is far far too late for realpolitik.
