I am curious what you think Michelle Obama should be doing now that would make a difference after white people ignored what she said during the Harris campaign?

Denounce the Republican party, including bad while men like George Bush. They're what go us here but from the Obamas they get treated nicely

You think the wife of a guy who was President a while ago should go out in public and denounce another guy who was president even longer ago. And that's how we'll defeat fascism, is it?

Yeah I think someone high profile should call out the President that created ICE now that ICE is attempting to deport legal US residents and explain that it was a mistake to ignore that for so long in favor of public interpersonal niceties

If the Obamas are so good and important I'd figure (if you were really against the Republicans) that they would be glad to use their position to damage them and make the US better

Sorry for giving the least extreme example in order to show you how low the bar is, I'm sure you would've respond great if I suggested they use their fame and access to personally assassinate a GOP official

I'd once again question why you want these particular Black people to be your assassins for hire rather than any far richer and more powerful white person, but at least you're describing concrete actions

"these particular Black people" Just to make sure we're on the same page, I'm referring to a living president and his spouse. You understand that right? Anyway I didn't suggest that! I specifically suggested speaking up but apparently a former president saying something is going too far!

They did say something. During the campaign. When it actually mattered. Curious what you think their magic words should be now when we have white Senators, CEOs and university presidents all bowing down before our new rulers?

I guess you're right, the Obama's just don't have the self preservation instinct or know they're insulated from their effects of US fascism and its good that they can relax

Remember that right? Fascism is not vague bad stuff, it promises literal targeting that family by virtue of their race. If I were them I'd be doing something!

So you don't know what they could do either. Fair enough. Still wanna boo them wherever they go though, right? Just to cover all the bases?
