      Of course this is the take. So now they’re going to soften their rhetoric and just inaugurate him next week.

      You can even straddle the whole civility thing while using the situation. “Of course someone use violence. Trump promotes violence. Look at Jan 6. Look at Project 2025. If you promote violence as a tool of course people are going to use it.” But no, they’re going to just say he’s a nice guy who’s a simple participant in our grand experiment and we need to be nice to him.

        Obama feels nothing. He comprehends not hatred or any other feeling. He is a living portal to the heat-dead universe at the end of time, where hope and change are no longer possible. It is inadvisable to stare long into Obama
