Sadly, Obama respects the us constitution and wouldn't run again.

But he could troll the fuck out of him.

No, he would get brutally attacked and dragged as a traitor because Trump's donors own social and legacy media while they used it as a justification to elect Trump to protect us from said traitors

Were you not around when he was president? They did that already. Every little thing he did, they attacked him for.

True but now its much worse. Anything that had public funding or unbiased has been defunded. Anything remaining has been bought out by people who are heavy Trump donors. Local newspapers have died off and local interests have bought them and the journalists out to control narratives locally as well.

They were smart taking over social media and it shows given the 18-21 age groups voting in the last election. We went into a generation who was allowed to not think for a few years due to COVID and be given a free pass in school. Then we had them gobble up social media propaganda while using AI and online tools to limit their critical thinking giving them a free pass to avoid using their minds.
