Statement by Barack and Michelle Obama:

[Icanthinkformyself]

41. Republicans

have been assaulting our core values for over a hundred years. And, they've come very close to finishing the job. Progressives and liberals forget that conservatives never stop, never yield, never give up, never retreat and never surrender. They will double, triple, quadruple down. They also, like the left, never seem to learn from history. They forget that fascism has never won the day and we forget that failure to apply the ultimate punishment to fascists when they lose is why they return every few decades. When they lose this time, and they will, many of them should go the way notsees went in 1946-47 and publicly. Barbarians only learn from being treated as a barbarian.
