I don't see this appeal to Obama much these days. Intelligent successful people all around me aren't really aware of what is happening. It doesn't affect their day to day much, yet. We were left high and dry by civil society a long time ago. The Obamas are good. They are keeping their boat afloat, watching their backs, protecting their own.

Many are not surprised by what is happening, the apathy, the level of support for weaponized bigotry. Many are now in survival mode and concentrating on preserving their circle, finding their level, meeting the next day.

We will find our heroes in the mirror.
