So now we’re criticizing Obama for not being able to tell the future?

Because that was the first objectionable thing Trump did, and being on Twitter isn't a problem itself.

I think the annexation threats were the first objectionable thing he did this time around.

Someone desperately trying to blame Democrats for the things Republicans do.

This meme is pretty dumb, but that's clearly not the point they're trying to make. They're not blaming Democrats for things Republicans do, they're saying that Democrats aren't putting up a sufficient opposition to the Republicans. I think that's a valid point, even if this meme itself is flawed.

This is the discourse we engage in while our democracy is being dismantled. Amazing.

His role is not to fight fascism. Never has been. Wake up.
