For me this "canoe" quote is Obama in a nutshell. He recites a folksy platitude from lib-friendly old culture about a typical Obama-friendly topic: unity. Sure yeah great whatever - unity is needed. But he localized a nightmarish global crisis with his we can work it out verbiage that's so sweet-sounding to the libs. He hypnotizes them with this shit.
Hawaii is a remote island and it could get mauled by climate change. What must be done is action on a worldwide scale. Working together in Hawaii will not do a fucking thing if the climate is going haywire. Obama is not a right-wing nut. He knows this. But he pretends otherwise.
Trump isn't some kind of enigma. He is openly hateful, spiteful, racist, vile, and... I could go on an on. And I hold Trump personally responsible for 100,000s of covid deaths. As awful as that is - people who are honest, introspective, and have a working brain know that.
Trumpism has gone way beyond Trump. I think it's a danger to American democracy and if it's not stopped - it will lead to fascism. But how can we stop it when the democrats are Obamaism cultists? In other words - they think civility, the discourse, bipartisanship, and instrumentalism will save the day.
Obama is an empty suit, a liar and a phony. He's a snake oil salesman who promised change but never, ever planned to do much of anything other than have centrist administration for the entirety of his presidency. Obama is a corporatist, a militarist, a neoliberal anti-labor, and people like him are a gigantic impediment of democrats actually dealing with the issues we must face if all Americans are going to prosper and if modern civilization is going to continue and not be destroyed by climate change.
Libs who are honest, introspective, and have a working brain refuse to acknowledge how bad Obama is or even who he really is. If we try to explain this to them - they usually tune us out. It makes me insane.
I can tell you why I hate Obama more than Trump.
