Obama tells Arizona crowd to focus on saving democracy
The Hill ^ | 11/03/2022 | Brad Dress

Former President Obama on Wednesday warned against the rise of political violence across the U.S. and urged Americans to cast a vote in the midterm elections to save democracy.

Obama told rallygoers at a Phoenix event that the “only way to preserve our democracy is if we nurture and invest in it.”

“When true democracy goes away people get hurt,” Obama said. “It has real-life consequences, it’s not some abstract political science question. We are all affected. We take this for granted, and we can’t.”

“There’s a reason why generations of Americans fought and died for this idea of self-government and why we set up rules to make it work,” he added. “If you don’t get your way, you don’t throw a tantrum.”

That POS should have been behind bars long ago for all the corruption he put in place for his media mogul puppet masters.

It means that their wet dream of an authoritarian nanny state may fall.

THE CANCER CALLED BARACK OBAMA MOVED STEALTHILY;
still Obama’s eight years in office had done its damage
<><>politicization and weaponization of federal agencies,
<><>victimization becoming a virtue,
<><>government intruding into Americans’ health decisions
<><>massive damage by his Justice Department,
<><>coerced cities into “consent decrees” that neutered police forces
<><> fully engaged feds in the cult of progressivism
<><>white supremacy invented,
<><>environmental extremism,LBGTQXYZ fanaticism, open borders lockstep,
<><>govt workers seeking to derail Trump the duly elected president,

This treachery culminated in November 2020 when the government colluded with the media and social media to execute a coup against the sitting president under the guise of “The most secure election in American history”. And it is that coup with which Barack Obama achieved his greatest success in “transforming” the United States because it inflicted Joe Biden on us to give Obama a third term.

You can’t find the word “democracy” in the Constitution or in any of its amendments, yet it is the word most vomited by the anti-America crowd.

The Republicans could easily make ads showing all the times the Democrats used or threatened violence on Trump and Republicans, but they won’t do it.

First step to “saving democracy” is to get rid of the FBI.

Save democracy? So Obama wants everyone to vote Republican and stop watching CNN and MSNBC and reform K-12? Good for him.
