Barack Obama: You need to vote because our democracy depends on it. The status quo pushes back. Sometimes the backlash comes from people who are genuinely if wrongly fearful of change. More often it’s manufactured … by the powerful and the privileged who want to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep us cynical because it helps them maintain the status quo, and keep their power, and keep their privilege.
Obama co-signed the Shock Exchange practically verbatim, agreeing the backlash was “manufactured” to keep us divided. What an interesting choice of words.
