barack knows what is happening and is failing to speak to it, as usual. He knows that the two party system is fracturing and the center is not holding. He knows that the weight of wealth inequality is weighing upon the most informed, active, and civically engaged generation in 40 years. He knows that American imperialism and militarism is crumbling under the weight of its own failures and hypocrisy and is now rearing its ugly head against the citizens that has opposed it the most here in America.

He knows these things and is attempting to impose some sense of order on them as opposed to showing leadership to use his platform and his power to direct change on their behalf. He had the power to direct change and instead stated that he himself was the change.

America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.
