That's just dudes keeping up Bozo the Clown personas. To deflect from backing Trump.
They dont believe a word of the shyt, but painted themselves into a corner already and have to continue the act.

That's the point of everyone pushing back now. We still have the opportunity for the Judicial and Legislative Branches to fight against these unconstitutional policies.

You know damn well Obama did not have even 1/10th leeway Trump has.

They aren’t treated the same .
I can point to many examples where trump gets treated with kid gloves and a dem gets hammered for the same thing , now add in that Obama is black .
Al green was censured for speaking out during a trump state of the union speech and even ten Dems voted for it iirc
Lauren boebert and mtg were yelling and calling Biden a liar during a state of the union speech . No one said a word .
If Biden this year before leaving office did what trump did on jan6th 2021 , he’d be in prison right now .
If Obama did what trump is doing he would have been dealt with immediately.

Obama Breaks Silence on Trump’s ‘Unimaginable’ Presidency
“Imagine if I had done any of this,” the two-term former president said.
People aren't understanding what Obama is saying or why he is saying it to push their own narrative based on a excerpt from a larger speech. He's warning about how the normalization of authoritarian behavior from the executive branch threatens the foundational principles of American democracy. He is pointing out that Trump is actively weaponizing the federal government against critics, institutions, and the free press in ways that would've sparked national outrage if done by any previous president, especially a Black one.
His comments are trying to draw attention to the erosion of legal and democratic accountability that allows Trump to act with impunity. It's a warning about how the system is being stress-tested, and far too many people are letting it happen.
Dudes in here talking about M4A and reparations fundamentally misunderstands the difference between executive power and legislative governance. Trump is using executive threats and the machinery of government to punish enemies and protect himself legally. That's *not* policy-making, that's authoritarianism.
Obama couldn't just "crash out" and give us M4A or reparations, because those actually require laws passed through Congress. You can't executive-order your way to universal healthcare or generational wealth redistribution.
If Obama had tried even a fraction of what Trump's doing now he would've been impeached in a week, and everyone pretending otherwise knows it. Stop confusing bluster and lawlessness with policy delivery.
Trump isn't "injecting fear" into powerful sectors of society, he's testing how much authoritarian behavior elites will tolerate when it's in service of their tax cuts, deregulation, or judicial appointments. The fact that major corporations, law firms, and media institutions *aren't* mounting serious resistance to his attacks on the rule of law, civil liberties, or dissent shows the opposite of fear, it shows complicity.

When Obama put his feet on his own desk, cacs were like “how dare that monkey ass nikka put his filthy toes on our desk”. Pretending that Trump doesn’t benefit from being white and that Obama wouldn’t have gotten massacred pulling any of Trump’s bullshyt as a black man is just flat out being a liar….being completely full of shyt.
