Yes, I know it’s Christmas, and if there’s one day where you should let politics go it’s today. But sometimes things happen that can’t go unremarked upon, no matter the day.
Such has been a series of events involving supporters of Hillary Clinton.
Yes, Clinton won the popular vote. Who cares? That was never, nor should it ever be, the measure that determines who is elected president. She knew it. Her supporters knew it. Her campaign knew it. They just chose not to campaign that way.
Call it arrogance or ignorance, but Hillary spent more time in California, a state she’d have won comfortably no matter what, than Wisconsin and Michigan in the final days of the election. She and her team made that choice, consciously. Just like she chose to call half of Trump’s supporters “a basket of deplorables” who, even worse, were “irredeemable.”
No one made her do that.
That became a rallying cry for Trump – and a way of life for many Clinton supporters.
There’s an old saying that goes, “If you want to know what Democrats are up to, just take a look at what they’re accusing Republicans of doing.” That’s exactly the case when it comes to those hardcore Clinton supporters who simply refuse to accept they lost; that people who have different opinions to theirs exist.
The fiery rhetoric coming from vehemently “progressive” Clinton supporters since the election has reached the point of instability. It seems as though some is aimed at inspiring some unhinged person to try to kill Donald Trump.
Non-stop equating Trump with some of history’s greatest despots and monsters – all leftists, by the way – can have an effect on the unstable. It is a point Democrats used to make when falsely accusing the Tea Party of “violent rhetoric,” stoking fears someone was going to get hurt. It didn’t happen, but the narrative was set and facts didn’t matter – the agenda had to be fed.
Now, major metropolitan newspapers are running columns condoning political assassination. Actually excusing the murder of the Russian ambassador to Turkey because Vladimir Putin is so awful. It’s not a long drive from there to all the stories claiming Putin “hacked” the election for Trump, especially for people overrun with media-induced fear.
If that weren’t enough, the same newspaper has on its website a quiz entitled, “Which Terrifying Political Voice Said It?” The choices? Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and Donald Trump.
The outrage expressed by “journalists” over pictures of President Obama as Hitler at Tea Party rallies was memory-holed, as was the lecturing over heated political rhetoric being dangerous.
They didn’t mean it then. They knew the Obama/Hitler pictures actually were the work of progressive Lyndon LaRouche lunatics who show up at every political gathering, no matter the topic, and who are not remotely associated with the Tea Party. They carefully cropped the “LaRouchePAC” watermark out of the pictures of the posters of Obama with the Hitler mustache because without it the narrative of an unhinged Tea Party was served.
The media didn’t miss an opportunity to condemn any political disagreement with Democrats as dangerous. They even went so far as to blame the shooting by a President George W. Bush-hating lunatic of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., on a map of congressional races on Sarah Palin’s website.
The script is now flipped. Everything “dangerous” is now cheered because of the target. When an unstable pile of wasted human flesh couldn’t accept sitting on a Jet Blue flight with Ivanka Trump so much that he had to verbally attack her in front of everyone on the plane, including her children, it was the natural progression of the Democratic Party’s narrative. How could you not confront Hitler’s daughter in 1936?
Of course Donald Trump is not Hitler in 1936, nor at any other time. And the truth of Hitler’s leftist ideology and the absurdity of the charge doesn’t help Democrats, but it does keep their voters so angry they don’t question the party’s failures to connect with everyday Americans. So reality must be finessed.
That’s how you end up with a major newspaper slapping the title, “Men who ‘expressed displeasure’ about flying with Ivanka Trump removed from plane” on a story about a bitter, angry man yelling at a mother and her children because he’s been mainlining media spin about her father. That’s how you end up with an artist offended that daughter would buy their work, demanding it be removed from her walls.
The media and the Democratic Party created these monsters, and there appears to be no bottom to their depravity. The worst among Hillary’s horrible true believers, seemingly hoping to do harm to the president-elect and anyone associated with him, have bylines. If the current president or Clinton, or someone in newsrooms across the country doesn’t condemn these escalations, something awful will happen.
Then again, that may be what they want.
Hillary campaigned for donors, not voters.
VERY good point.
I decline to accept that conclusion. Eliminating fraud alone swings it by several million. In this case the fraud was insufficient for their purposes.
There needs to be a recount in California and New York. Hillary probably won the popular vote because of illegally cast votes. Only the electoral college vote has saved us from voter fraud prevailing.
good movie.
NAILS IT.....b/c she ran a such crooked organization, the voters were never part of her campaign plan.
Great photo, it may be happening.
Is that photoshopped? /s
I hesitated clicking on this thread because of the title, but realized it’s just reality. lol
The best way to confirm that is to merely look at the way she treated her supporters once it was known that she lost. She had absolutely no time for them because it was all about her.
Also, Trump went on a voter “thank you” tour.
Hillary went on a donor “thank you” tour.
I vote for both, adding greed and stupidity to the list.
This from the world's smartest woman who ALMOST became the first woman president of the united States of America.
Monumental arrogance and Greed won.
Well, duh. This where all her billionaire donors live.
Yeah, yeah. No doubt there are billionaires in Wisconsin and Michigan but you know what I mean. The money is here and that's all she truly cares about.
No one can say who won the popular vote, because we did not hold an election for popular vote. The election would have been run and campaigned differently if we had. Getting more California votes in our election process is meaningless, a candidate must get the most votes in the most states. Our system focuses on the states and their rights. Not individuals or mobs. As such, our individual votes count within the states we live, and are meaningless to all other states. The most liberals can say is...,,,”we one the popular vote IN California, Illinois,etc.”, Not, “we won the popular vote period.”
.....amen.......
“Call it arrogance or ignorance, but Hillary spent more time in California, a state she’d have won comfortably no matter what, than Wisconsin and Michigan in the final days of the election.”
People always project. While it is true that Trump showing up in swing states certainly helped him fire up his people, and get the vote out, perhaps Hillary’s people knew that she was radioactive that showing up in a swing state was a net negative for her, and therefore she was being very strategic in letting her advertising do the dirty work.
I mean, she is just abhorrent to Working Class men - seems like a sanitized version of her was her only hope.
“Hillary went on a donor “thank you” tour.”
And I seriously doubt she wanted to...it was the Party DEMANDING that she show up, or the donors were set to bolt.
...and California also pulled off something VERY CLEVER, which was to have their ONLY STATEWIDE RACE (other than the foregone presidential one) between two DEMOCRATS (US Senate) - and it was competitive, so Democrats had a reason to come out - for Republicans, nothing, except a handful of Congressional and local races.
The Electoral College PROVED ITS WORTH last months - our founders were GENIUSES.
We are going on Day 64 now but that is not up yet. I am impressed with his presentation.
I knew there was no gold in Haiti, but Hill's brother opened a gold mine there.
You just won't believe where the gold comes from.
This in spite of the unintended purpose, that it was literally impossible for the Founders even to imagine that voter fraud would be not only tolerated with impunity, but encouraged.
Or that qualified voter ID could be challenged as Unconstitutional!"
