Then what does “I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans” mean?


It was english shorthand.

If you are separating M&Ms by color with a friend you might say, “here’s a bunch of yellows”, when what you mean is, “here’s a bunch of yellow M&M’s”. But it is implied within the context.

here, they said, “I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans”. But what I think they meant was, “I know she has begun to hate the phrase, ‘everyday Americans’”

If the writer meant she hates the phrase it would have read hates term “everyday Americans”. That’s not what was stated.

Why is that less damning?

Believe you, not our lyin’ eyes? Why are you carrying water for Clinton? This is a conservative website, not DU.
