racism is so deeply embedded in America that the Republican response to a brilliant, moderate, technocratic black man becoming President was to build a cult of personality around the single worst white man in the country and attempt to make him dictator for life

you could even look at everything coming out of the right since 2016 as an effort to prevent an obama from ever happening again

This is exactly it... the citizenry was ready for a Black president, Barrack was popular and had good approval among the majority of voters, but for the rich elite who run this nation and the bigoted groups that simp for them they were not ready at all and collapsed the system that made it possible.
