My Remarks at the 2024 Obama Foundation’s Democracy Forum in Chicago, Illinois -- Barack Obama

What happens when the other side has repeatedly and abundantly made clear they’re not interested in playing by the rules?”

[OCS: There is absolutely no doubt, reinforced by sworn testimony and documentary evidence, that the progressive communist democrats have not played by existing rules, violating precedents, norms, and the rules of established political behavior by using “lawfare,” the strategic and tactical use of legal systems and procedures to target unfavorable laws and political opponents. to achieve their political objectives, on their opponents.]

It’s a problem. And when that happens, we fight for what we believe in. There are going to be times, potentially, when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in a permanent grip on power, either by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the armed forces, or using the judiciary or criminal justice system to go after their opponents.

[OCS: Obama describes the behavior of progressive communist democrats in the Obama and Administrations, both of which were manifestly corrupt and filled with unconstitutional behavior and criminality.]

And in those circumstances, pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and say ‘well, I’m not sure, that’s okay’. In those circumstances, a line has been crossed and we have to stand firm and speak out and organize and mobilize as forcefully as we can.

[OCS: This is a core strength of the progressive communist democrats: organizing and mobilizing to create synthetic outrage that is amplified by the progressive communist democrat propagandists in the media, including the censoring and de-platforming of dissident voices. As opposed to the feckless GOP that lacks the cojones to fight back against the devil.]

But, even in those circumstances, it’s important to look for allies in unlikely places. And too often, we assume that people on the other side have monolithic views when, in reality, some of them may share our beliefs in sticking to the rules, observing norms, and that’s why, when it is appropriate, there is nothing wrong with reinforcing and lifting up elected officials or voters, your neighbors, your friends, who you may not disagree with anything but they do agree with you on that. Because they may be able to exert influence on people they’ve got relationships within the other party. So, none of this will be easy. Building up these habits and practices that so often we’ve lost. Learning to trust each other again, that’s a generational project.

[OCS: The progressive communist democrats have no issue with sending spies and recruiters into the enemy camp to surveil and subvert the enemy’s initiatives. There is an old truism about democrats marching in lockstep and not breaking ranks. Likewise, there are no Republicans within the Democrat Party, but there are Democrats within the Republican Party.]
