Barack Obama, pretending to be an innocent bystander, declared last week, “I don’t understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter.”

This would be the same Obama who led the insult parade against Grassroots Americans during his 2008 campaign, insisting, “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” He added that you are “backward” and “on the wrong side of history.”

In other words, if you disagree with Obama, you are an ignorant, God-fearing gun owner who must be racist because you think we need fair trade with the ChiComs and shouldn’t have open borders. Did I miss anything?

To be clear, for the last three decades the Democrat Party has advocated hate and division in order to section its constituency groups, and Obama perfected that advocacy as a disciple of hate and division long before he entered public life.

At the end of his occupation of the White House, Obama attempted to pass the presidency to Hillary Clinton. She picked up the left-elite platform where he left off.

Eight years ago, when Clinton was running against Donald Trump, two months ahead of the election, she was collecting graft from a group of wealthy gender-confused constituents in New York. In her remarks, she declared what would become the most memorable words of her entire campaign.

Clinton said that you could put Trump’s supporters in a “basket of deplorables.” She added, “They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.” You know, those “bitterly clinging” types.

At the time, Trump responded, “While my opponent slanders you as deplorable and irredeemable, I call you hardworking American patriots who love your country.” His then-running mate, Mike Pence, added, “For Hillary Clinton to express such disdain for millions of Americans is one more reason that disqualifies her to serve in the highest office.”

In the second presidential debate just weeks before the election, to his credit, CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Clinton: “How can you unite a country if you’ve written off tens of millions of Americans?” Clinton dodged the question, responding: “My argument is not with his supporters. It’s with him and the hateful, divisive campaign he has run.” Well, no — Clinton’s argument actually is with Trump supporters, and she was, and remains, a prolific purveyor of hate and division.

On November 8, 2017, the one-year anniversary of his election, Trump thanked the “deplorables” for his victory.

Now, we are in a third election cycle with Trump, who is again facing the latest iteration of the Democrat Party’s (and Barack Obama’s) socialist protagonists, Kamala Harris and her sidekick Tim Walz.

But Harris’s “joy” campaign has dissolved now, and, in the final weeks of this election cycle, a much darker side of Harris has emerged — the REAL Kamala. She is now casting wildly inflammatory accusations against Trump and his supporters. As political analyst Rich Lowry observed, “Harris has officially ended the ‘joy’ phase of her campaign, and has instead entered the ‘Trump is a fascist’ stage.”

It started with Harris’s vitriolic accusation that Trump, and by extension his supporters, are “fascists.”

In a softball CNN town hall with the aforementioned Anderson Cooper, he asked Harris, “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” To which Harris replied, “Yes, I do. Yes, I do. And I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted.”

She then likened Trump to Adolf Hitler, declaring: “Donald Trump is out for unchecked power. He wants a military like Adolf Hitler had, who will be loyal to him, not our Constitution. He is unhinged, unstable, and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses.”

Harris then doubled down on both claims: “[People] care about our democracy and not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”

She and Walz, of stolen valor infamy, then colluded with their Leftmedia publicists to attack Trump’s massive rally in New York, comparing it to a pro-Hitler rally in the 1930s.

According to Walz: “Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden. There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”

Hillary Clinton [piled on]https://www.foxnews.com/media/hillary-clinton-accuses-trump-reenacting-infamous-nazi-rally-madison-square-garden): “Trump [is] actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939. … Please open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country.”

Anything to distract from Trump’s opening remark at that rally, borrowed, just like his Make America Great Again slogan, from Ronald Reagan: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”

Harris continued to drop “F”- and “H”-bombs on Trump supporters, upgrading them from mere “deplorables” to “fascists” and “Hitlerian NAZIs.”

The irony of Harris’s “fascist,” “NAZI,” and “Hitler” labels is that in doing so, she is taking a page right out of Hitler’s autobiography, Mein Kampf. He defined a “BIG Lie” as one so “colossal” that the public would be confident that no national leader “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” The Harris slanders are BIG Lies.

Furthermore, recall that “NAZI” is an acronym for Hitler’s anti-Semitic National Socialist German Workers’ Party — that’s right, the bloodiest fascists in history were, in fact, socialists. For the record, Democrat Socialists, National Socialists, and Marxist Socialists are ALL FASCISTS. The ascent of the Socialist Democrat authoritarians in America has been swift. Harris’s Democratic Socialism is nothing more than Marxist Socialism repackaged.

As Ronald Reagan declared, “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” And it is desperately trying to burst through the front door of the White House, again.

In a joint statement condemning Harris’s inflammatory rhetoric, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said she is fanning “the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus,” and her words “seem to dare it to boil over.” They added: “She must abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric that endangers both American lives and institutions. We call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, and help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats.”

Hilariously, when Harris’s hand-picked Marxist, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, was questioned about the disgraceful rhetoric, she responded that asking her that question was “incredibly dangerous.”

Of course, Harris picked up the Trump “threat to democracy” rhetoric from Joe Biden, and it is now spinning out of control. According to the non-fascist Biden, “We gotta lock [Trump] up. … It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the [MAGA movement]. … It’s like semi-fascism.”

To be clear, the Biden/Harris regime and now the Harris/Walz ticket constitute the real threat to our Republic and American Liberty.

Biden also piled on Trump supporters this week, calling them “garbage.” As our Nate Jackson noted, “Biden’s latest gaffe was … a shockingly and inexcusably offensive comment from a sitting president whose sole defense is that he was a misunderstood idiot.”

Harris, who also honed her lying skillset at the feet of Master Biden, then pulled this garbage out of thin air: “Calling America a garbage can … those are the words [Trump] has used.” Didn’t happen — waiting on the Leftmedia’s so-called “fact-checkers” to take that one down. (Won’t happen.)

After Biden’s “garbage” blew up, Harris responded, “Let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.” Right.

Circling back to the question Cooper asked Clinton back in 2016, it remains just as relevant for Harris now, when the national electorate is divided by a split percentage point between Trump and Harris: “How can you unite a country if you’ve written off tens of millions of Americans?”

Finally, this week, Harris made her last pitch to a gathering of her most loyal DC bureaucrats from a platform at the Ellipse. The theme of her remarks was the J6 riot and Trump the fascist: “Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail.”

She closed by declaring, “It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division.”

Demo voters “turned the page” four years ago, and look what it got them.

Among other disastrous consequences, prices have risen by more than 20% since Biden and Harris dropped their inflation bomb on American households.

So, asking for a friend: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”

To be clear, Donald Trump’s considerable and well-documented record of domestic and foreign policy successes stands in stark contrast to the Biden/Harris regime’s abysmal record of policy failures, especially their long list of disastrous foreign policy decisions.

For those you know who are still considering a vote for the Harris/Walz ticket, I have a message for them.
