0bama (and whoever was pulling his strings) happened, coopting the republican misdeeds for use to help the Marxists. That takes money, so they got in bed with multinational corporations and the press. He coopted social media with State Dept GEC for the Arab Spring and the govt got comfortable and took over those platforms using CISA and DHS. He took over our elections with machines, throwing our cash at states to do it, while condescendingly declaring it "impossible" to rig a national election, knowing it was already in the works. I could go on.
