Former President Barack Obama warned attendees at the Obama Foundation’s Democracy Forum that “one side” could seek to weaponize the federal government to maintain power.
What has apparently escaped him is the fact that Democrats have been doing just that for the past four years, blatantly and right in front of our eyes, presumably at his direction.
“What happens if the other side repeatedly makes it abundantly clear that they have no interest in playing by the rules?” he asked.
“That’s a problem. And when that happens, we fight for what we believe in,” Obama added.
“Potentially, one side could actively suppress votes, politicize the military, or otherwise seek to use the judicial or criminal justice systems to seize power against their opponents. ”
President Obama’s hypocritical election sermon at ‘Democracy Forum’

Barack Obama and the Democrats did all of that and then some.
Now, reread those words. Watch that video again. Barack Obama literally describes the Biden administration and then pretends in so-called “democratic” forums that the problem is the Trump administration.
Under the Biden administration – will we use the criminal justice system to go after our enemies? check. Stacking the deck through illegal immigration to maintain power? check. Will it wake up the army? check.
These comments from Obama are, in a word, disgusting.
What’s worse, he seems to be threatening, something that shouldn’t be taken lightly considering President-elect Donald Trump literally had to dodge a bullet from inflammatory statements.
“In a situation like that, pluralism doesn’t require us to just sit by and say, ‘I don’t know, that’s fine,'” the former president argued. “In situations like that, a red line is crossed and we must stand firm, speak out, and organize and rally as strongly as possible.”
The line has already been crossed.

angry hypocrite
Obama, the hypocrite, also said that living in a democracy means “all of us must find ways to live with individuals and groups different from ourselves.”
This comes after President Biden called Republicans “trash” and Vice President Kamala Harris painted Republicans and President Trump as comparable to Hitler and the Nazis.
Barak’s comments are not only a blatant projection, but also the last gasp of a man trying to hold on to the power he so spectacularly lost on November 5th.
Mr. Biden was Mr. Obama’s third term. Mr. Harris was to be his fourth child. Now, he will never again hold this much power in Washington. And he’s scary.
