I question the accuracy of that assertion.

I am not certain it is inaccurate, and suspect we may never know. But I would not be at all surprised to be informed that an actual coup d’etat has taken place…

Move on becomes the obvious response, because, hey, if no one SEES the shame, it doesn’t exist… “Move on, pay no attention to our massive and relentless failures…”

The next step, I think, is impeachment. Then, next summer when we have seen what a disaster Kamala is, another one. If we just get moving on, we can shed ourselves of these cancers by next Christmas.

Here’s a real Michelle Obama quote I’ve never forgotten:
_______________________________________

That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls – our souls are broken in this nation.
…
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.

–Michelle Obama, 02/18/2008
_______________________________________

It’s not hard to see how this quote, however seemingly high-minded, leads to the Great Leader and Nuremberg rallies.

What I find interesting about the Biden era is that we have skipped all the inspiring visionary parts and gone straight to authoritarianism fueled by a tawdry hate.

As I recall Michelle Obama took a lower-profile in the campaign after that speech.

I rest my case.

After Obama’s first election, there was a quote flying around the internet, allegedly from Czech president Václav Klaus, that said this: “The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.”

It’s now been repurposed to name Joe Biden.

The fact-checking industry* doesn’t give it any credence, and they may be right (so many of those quotes that are too good to check are frauds), but by the Left’s own standards, fake can also be accurate. I think that is the case with this observation, and it explains how we got the Biden administration and its fools and/or knaves.

How accurate? This interview is not a fake.
I’ve paraphrased the interchange, but you can listen to what was said here (25:25):
https://youtu.be/5SDLBqIubCs?t=1525

Interviewer: A writer asked “Has Obama roused the people to reclaim their liberties?” and
Thomas Sowell thinks not; that there are points of no return and 2012 is one of them, because Obama has to be stopped.

He wasn’t.

________________________________

Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling. Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

“Come on, girl” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. He was fuming. Then he no longer could restrain himself. “We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”

“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”
