I’ve got an unfortunate reminder for all the fools furious over Michelle Obama’s decision to skip Trump’s inauguration

That mostly boils down to rage-filled finger-pointing, and this week the outrage is directed at none other than Michelle Obama. No, it’s not something she said or did; instead, it’s much more benign. The former first lady has declined the invitation to attend Trump’s inauguration, and MAGA Republicans can’t imagine anything more wantonly disrespectful.

Yes, that’s right, the people who plotted to overthrow the government are lecturing about decorum. Michelle Obama is skipping Trump’s impending inauguration, and Republicans are clutching their pearls. Evenanother event she recently missed.

So why is Michelle Obama ruining decades of precedent just to snub the Orange Oligarch?

It’s simple, Trump’s been nothing but nasty to the Obama’s. He all but founded the one of those Black jobs.” It’s got to be frustrating to have your husbands hard-won accomplishments questioned just because of his skin color, and Mrs. Obama has never let it go — nor should the rest of us.

Of course, his skill for insulting people is one of the things Republicans adore about Trump, so that alone isn’t reason enough for them. Rightwing talking heads like Jesse Waters have been all over social media, banging the drum of disrespect and mocking democrats for no longer responding with their 2016 slogan “when they go low, we go high.”

It’s impossible to take their faux outrage seriously. As the list of Democrats skipping the inauguration grows, an incredibly frustrating conversation is breaking out within republican circles online. Trump ers seem to view the snubs as somehow impeding the peaceful transfer of power, all while denying the Jan. 6 attack on the capital was an attempted insurrection.

In between the posts rejoicing in her decision not to attend the event were others falling back on the tired, unfunny jokes that Michelle Obama is actually a man, and of course, outrage over the Democrats’ fall from decorum. Toxic X s are bashing Obama left and right, but there is one major factor they’ve forgotten — Trump set this precedent in 2020 after he and his entire family skipped Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Of course they have a reason for why his refusal was actually valid. the loss is still a sore spot.

“She campaigned the hardest against him personally, of anyone,” one aide said. “She’s no hypocrite,” another ally added. “She meant every word she said on the campaign trail.”
