Things aren’t shaping up well for 2020 Democrats who may pay the ultimate price for their extremism…
Count former President Barack Obama among those who can see the looming disaster as the bloodbath of the 2020 primaries approaches with things already getting dirty.
It was always going to be an eye-gouging scrum with what remains of the Democrat old guard being ripped to shreds by socialist and identity-obsessed zanies jousting for pole position as members of the most victimized demographics but the zeal with which poor old Joe Biden was attacked with is a foreboding sign of things to come.
Obama’s former vice president has been targeted with the type of orchestrated sexual misconduct smear campaign that took down Al Franken and the accusers keep coming forward like Mickey Mouse’s bucket-bearing broomsticks in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to bandy their own accounts of outrage against the geriatric groper.
Now that the relentless Trump hunter Robert Mueller’s final report has landed with a thud taking down the Russian conspiracy that was the glue holding the squabbling identity groups together, leaderless Democrats run the risk of breaking into warring tribes who will have beaten each other to a pulp by the time that the “victor” emerges as the nominee in Milwaukee next summer.
Many things can be said of Mr. Obama and one of them is that he isn’t a stupid man and the penultimate narcissist can already read the writing on the wall and expressed his grave concerns during an Obama Foundation event across the pond.
According to Obama, the party’s current conflicts could result in a “circular firing squad” that would all but guarantee President Trump’s reelection.
Even @BarackObama is calling for radical Dems to call down, saying that the party needs to remember that compromise is a thing.

Via The Washington Examiner, “Obama fears ‘circular firing squad’ among Democrats”:
Former President Barack Obama said on Saturday he is concerned about the Left wing of the Democratic Party creating a “circular firing squad” hurting more moderate members.
“The way we structure democracy requires you to take into account people who don’t agree with you,” Obama said at an Obama Foundation event in Berlin, Germany. “And that by definition means you’re not going to get 100 percent of what you want.”
“One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States — maybe it’s true here as well — is a certain kind of rigidity, where we say, ‘Oh, I’m sorry. This is how it’s going to be,’” Obama said, adding that Democrats have in some cases created “what’s called a ‘circular firing squad,’ where you start shooting at your allies because one of them is straying from purity on the issues.”
Obama also lamented how social media has become a tool to spread ‘disinformation, hatred, and suspicion” which is true thanks to big tech’s refusal to police leftist hate mobs, many of which have gone after Biden.

While Obama didn’t specifically name any names, some may point out that it is thanks to social media that a thin-skinned nincompoop who was tending bar last year has managed to leverage Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to become arguably the most influential Democrat in America and that thanks to these same platforms, the inconceivable has happened with the spread of socialism and all of its extremist aspects.
And as history has repeatedly shown, socialists are notorious for blood purges of all who are not true believers in the revolution and this irrational hatred is Obama’s true legacy.
