During his conversation with Mr. Pritzker, Mr. Obama spoke about how Mr. Trump has a core base that filters out any contradictory information.
The former president dismissed Mr. Trumps continued focus on the Confederate monuments as a distraction amid the coronavirus pandemic thats like his No. 1 priority but also characterized it as a menace that gives you a sense of what this is about. He then pivoted to what those darker impulses have wrought in history.
The endpoint of that we saw in Europe 60 years ago, 70 years ago what happens when those things get unleashed, Mr. Obama said, according to the notes. You dont nip that in the bud, bad things can happen. Among the most quote unquote civilized societies.
We already saw this guy win once, he said. After he bragged about physically assaulting women and that didnt seem to matter. So, enough said. Lets get to work.

(23,003 posts)FL has a very strict signature matching program used on all mail in and absentee voting. If your signature has changed even a tiny bit, and most people's change significantly as they age, your ballot is rejected. Letters are required to be sent, but when I was volunteering in 2018 no one I called (only calling Dems, of course) and no one any of the other volunteers called, had received a letter even though they were marked on the website as being sent. Maybe Repugs get the letter, but Dems never do and we had 100,000 votes disallowed. Without this, both Nelson & Gillum would have won.
In FL, only early voting is truly safe. It's also super super easy, you can vote at any library, the elections office or any other site designated - not just your regular polling place. You can also vote on the weekend. Signatures & addresses for early voting are not strictly screened at all and there are generally no lines. I will be early voting soon as it opens & can't wait to cast my vote for Biden.

Thank you, President Obama.

(978 posts)I guess Obama doesn't have it in him to get down and dirty and just say something more like "Trump is a menace to mankind. We need to get that asshole out of the oval office."

(978 posts)even smart people sometimes use expletives to express themselves. Obama NEVER lets his guard down.

He's never going to call anyone an asshole.

Lets hope they'll back Biden this time instead of wasting their vote on some spoiler.

(978 posts)I would not describe them as "unleashing" which implies an outburst of some sort.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)Unleash as a verb isn't an outburst. IMO, you're over critical of media and Obamas quotes.
Did you not watch Obama kick Trumps ass all over the Correspondents Dinner celebration? He tore the mans ass to shreds and walked away during the roaring laughter.
