The election earlier this month made it loud and clear that voters don't care how much people like Barack Obama, Liz Cheney or even rich liberal celebrities lecture them. All of the above campaigned for Kamala Harris, after previously supporting Joe Biden before shoving him out the door, and they soon found out that most Americans are done with their lectures.
On the campaign trail for Harris just before the election, Obama was telling lies about the opposition to try and scare people into voting for the phoniest campaign in recent history:
How disappointing is it to hear Obama tell lies? This man was all about hope and change but it only got worse and now he's just outright lying about Donald Trump by repeating the "very fine people" hoax. He knows better than that. He's lying on purpose. pic.twitter.com/007zRPxIIV

Just last year, Obama told young people to stay angry and frustrated:

We all know what happened in the election earlier this month: Kamala Harris and the Democrats got wiped out, and now Trump's headed back into the White House and the Republicans will control the House and Senate for at least the next two years.
Now Obama's changed his tune just a bit:

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how to build rules and habits that allow us to disagree deeply while still being able to live together.

On December 5, I’ll talk more about this idea – called pluralism – at our third annual @ObamaFoundation Democracy Forum. Learn… pic.twitter.com/yHKu1KQJ4v
The guy responsible for so much of the division in the country having a "here's how we can all get along" forum right after voters proved he doesn't have pull anymore is rich.
The balls on this guy.

For the kids not old enough, you can’t imagine how much LESS divided we were before this street communist walked into the White House.
Pre-Obama was a different America. A much better one. https://t.co/8OpgjzR1Sw
Obama helped usher in the era of Trump and the Left just doesn't get it (that would require self-awareness and being honest with themselves).
This dude creating deep, lasting divisions by accusing his opponents of being racist fascists and then turning around and claiming to be the solution is peak narcissism.

Shameless. https://t.co/zDfcIDSjmV
"Peak narcissism" describes Obama perfectly!
Obama's rhetoric before the election vs. after the election reminded me of a scene from a Monty Python movie:

We've now reached the "pluralism" point of the pivot.
"Fine people hoax" - the lie you spoke right up to the election.

Keep your brand of pluralism. We're not interested.
The result of the election despite of Obama's lecturing during campaign appearances for Harris should have made it very clear we're not interested.
