I am really tired of the trend of assigning so much power to “the aftermath of the rise of Donald Trump and the reaction to his rise”. I am a well educated conservative and have been all of my life. Most of my friends and family are the same (yes I do have liberal friends also). We all agree that Trump did not ignite or change our feelings about anything. We don’t like the guy but we appreciate that he empowered conservatives that are typically not the loudest voice in the room to have a voice in the conversation. Progressives have pushed and pushed and pushed their agenda for years and we are finally tired of it, finally found our voices to say that we are drawing the line and the pendulum must swing back and come into balance.

I made the same comment elsewhere. All of this is rooted in Obama's "radical change now" philosophy and the generation that was seduced into believing that activism and change take priority over principle and respected traditions.

Obama said he would fundamentally change the USA, and he did.

And rely on the Fourth Turning for their justification. That is the basis of the Boomer hate and Karen misogyny. They will set us back hundreds of years.

I have used this same point for years, about Obama’s agenda to fundamentally change America. 🙌

He remains true to his word, you can see his fingerprints all over the work of his proxies, such as the one he installed in the White House in 2020. I felt it when all nominees suddenly dropped out and endorsed Biden.

Bingo, and hence the videos of everyone ignoring Biden when Obama walks in the room.

All of this mess is his doing.

Unlike when the left assigns all blame for the ills of the world at Trump’s door, Obama is in fact responsible.
