She's With Them: Inside The World Of Hillary Clinton Superfans
Refinery 29 ^ | August 2, 2019 | Natalie Gontcharova

Posted on 08/16/2019 1:57:42 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

After Hillary Clinton unexpectedly lost the Electoral College despite winning the popular vote in 2016, coming closer to the presidency than any woman had before, something changed in the psyche of scores of her supporters. While some had been afraid to even post on social media or put a Hillary bumper sticker on their car for fear of being shouted down by trolls from the right and left, Clinton's admirers — particularly women — came out of the woodwork (while Hillary went into the woods) to tell the world that their icon had been wronged. That's exactly when many of the former Secretary of State, senator, and first lady's supporters turned into a different phenomenon entirely: superfans.

Superfans don't just post and retweet and wear T-shirts and send small donations. They create entire social media accounts dedicated to following Clinton's every move, outfit, and honorary degree. They camp out overnight outside of the Union Square Barnes & Noble to get first dibs at What Happened, Clinton's memoir, while the Secretary's staff surprises them with a late-night pizza delivery. They fly from the Philippines to Australia to see her. They create paintings, plays, and, of course, memes. If the "women's rights are human rights," baby-pink suit moment in China began to turn Hillary Rodham Clinton into an icon, then the anger, devastation, and defiant hope of the post-2016 era cemented that status.

Some of these ‘super fans’ still drive around with the bumper sticker on! It’s like a radioactivity sign to me - stay far away.

Rather shoot myself in the back of the head 5 times than spend 5 minutes with a bunch of PIAPS Harpies.

SJWs are not WOKE, they are ASLEEP.

Put there by a choke hold of lies.

WOKE was originally used to describe those who saw through the lies of the left, but somehow at some point they even stole that to make their zombies believe they are “special”.

With just a light touch of editing this could be in the Babylon Bee.

Stupid girl though rules of game didn’t apply to her.

Stupid girl isn’t president.

Anyway...

“while the Secretary’s staff surprises them with a late-night pizza delivery.”

Does that late-night pizza come with a side order of child molestation?

This woman is evil and these moonbats are treating her as a demigod. These people are deranged.

That and the COEXIST bumper sticker.

The driver is usually an older, ugly white woman.
