Barack Obama has brutal message to anyone
Call to Action
Former President Barack Obama urged Democrats to respond more forcefully to the Trump administration,
as polls show Trump’s approval at negative levels. Speaking at a private fundraiser,
Obama criticized Democratic passivity and called for direct engagement.
“Toughen Up” Message
Obama told supporters to “toughen up” and stop complaining.
“Now is exactly the time to get in there and do something,”
he said, stressing the need for courage in defending democratic values.
Democracy at Risk
Warning of authoritarian drift, Obama compared the U.S. to Hungary under Viktor Orbán.
He said current leadership ignores checks and balances, free speech,
and fair governance, cautioning the nation is “dangerously close” to abandoning core principles.
No More Silence
“Don’t say you care about free speech and then stay quiet,” Obama said,
urging Democrats to defend democracy even when it is unpopular,
calling complacency a threat as political tensions grow.
