Former President Barack Obama issued a call to action for Democrats at a private fundraiser in New Jersey on Friday evening, urging those frustrated by the state of the country under President Donald Trump to “stand up for the things that you think are right.”

“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

    What would I do? I’d go to fucking war. If I were getting into politics, it wouldn’t be to play it safe, it would be to cause trouble for the MAGA Nazis. They want a piece of me? Have at it assholes, I’ll be your worst nightmare wherever you put me, until you finally execute me for being too much trouble. But know that I’ll take as many with me as I can.

    I’ve made my peace with the idea that my life may have a twist ending that I wasn’t expecting when I was growing up. Dying an old man in my sleep seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

    Right now I’m biding my time, but I’m arming up, stockpiling ammo, and going to the range. I’m also accumulating non-lethal/ silent weapons, as well as stockpiling food and supplies.

    If anything happens to my family, it’s on.
