For nearly a decade I have been saying that Obama was the lynchpin for the resurgence of racial division in our country.

... Obama began stoking the fire that anybody who disagreed with him, had the evil intention of racism lurking in his heart.
He was far too polished a politician to say it directly. Rather, he would insidiously, falsely, ascribe racism as the true motivation for his opposition.

The earliest examples of Obama's divisiveness came in '08 when he joked at rallies that "I don't look like the Presidents we have had before". This brilliantly sowed the seed that people who vote against him are not disagreeing on policy, they just hate black people.
He continued this approach through his Administration, most notably, on the topic of illegal immigration.
Conservatives opposed amnesty, largely on bases of the drain to our economy through added costs to social services and the obvious safety hazards posed by porous borders.

Obama artfully framed the issue as "some people are uncomfortable with illegal aliens because they look different".
This again, sowed the seed that "the other side is racist". He knew it was false. Obama knew that a subtle message is FAR more effective than a direct approach.

His base, trusted Obama like his words were Gospel. They grabbed hold of his message and it forever changed the landscape of politics in our country.
This change was by Obama's design. We know this, because Obama could have cured it, yet glaringly decided not to do so.

When the Ferguson race riots started in 2014 and America erupted under Obama's watch, no human in history was more suited to quell racial strife.
Imagine if Obama flew to Ferguson, stood in the street and declared "I got this. It will be fixed."
Boom! Nationwide riots over.

He knew he had the power to nip a race war in the bud. However, instead of fixing the problem by taking responsibility, Obama allowed it to fester. And grow.
The destruction this caused to America is incalculable. It is hard to fathom how it can realistically be remedied.

For centuries, American political party opponents operated with an understanding that "we all want what is best for America, we simply disagree about what is best or how to get there." This understanding is ESSENTIAL if parties are to reach compromise.
Those days are gone.
Those days are gone.
If you genuinely believe that your opponent is evil/motivated by evil as the Democratic base does, there is no compromise.
Who would ever say, "OK.. Let's cave on our approach here to make the bigots happy"?
You would feel like an accessory to racism.
Nobody ever does that.

Ironically, and fortunately, the overwhelming majority of the GOP is disgusted by racism. So we can easily understand why everyone would be loathe to work with racists.
However, because of Obama and those who picked up his "They're EVIL!" torch after he left Office...

Conservatives are left constantly defending the empty claims that we are not that which we ourselves detest: Racists.
The Dems have cleverly worked to find anyway possible to weave racism or "rich white man greed" into every political issue.

Issues that would never be associated with race suddenly are. Climate change, the economy and even response to a pandemic are all attributed by the Left to be opposed on "nefarious white people" grounds.
The Left has been triggered to assume that the Right is manifesting evil.

The attacks on @realDonaldTrump being racist were predictable before he ran. The GOP had two choices: nominate a Pollyanna Romney type or someone who stands for America.
ANY candidate who stands up for America would be tarred as "racist".
Indeed, America itself is racist.

Obama's charge, yesterday, that Trump cashed in on "white people being victims" would be comical if the results were no so damaging.
Trump received more support in 2020 from POC than any Republican in at least 60 years. A growing percentage of people see through the Obama lies.

Moreover, the Right never views itself as "victims". Victimhood is the domain of the Left.
Every Trump rally was infused with an overwhelming infectious wave of American pride.
Victims never feel proud.

"Dark winters" are Leftist talk.
Every Trump speech is hopeful and optimistic. Indeed, he was chastised by the Left that he was too hopeful about Covid.
Trump's message: Rapid Covid cures, a "Super V" economy and AMERICA BEING GREAT.
There are no victims here.

So respectfully, Mr. Obama, I say to you:
Despite "looking different" from your predecessors, you succeeded in looking more Presidential than many of us have ever seen.
At the same time, you were arguably the most destructive human in American history.
