Is Hillary Clinton Suggesting Civil War?
American Thinker ^ | 12/22/2021 | J. Robert Smith

The other day, in an interview with NBC News, Hillary Clinton went public with a warning --or was it a dog whistle to Democrats and the left? It might be an instance of Hillary’s mouth running ahead of her brain, but don’t count on it. Hillary is a coldly calculating woman --and that might be one of her better qualities.

Hillary suggested that if Trump or “someone of his ilk” is elected president in 2024, then American democracy is kaput. Foolishness? Knowing the conceits and delusions that infect her intended audience, her suggestion might not seem ludicrous. Hillary’s side listens to her, so her words carry weight.

From National Review, December 13:

“I think that could be the end of our democracy,” [Hillary] said. “Not too be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this could be a make-or-break point. If he or someone of his ilk were once again to be elected president, especially if he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognize our country.”

Hillary’s inference? If Trump or DeSantis (the most likely GOP presidential nominee should Trump not run) wins the presidency --in a democratic and presumably fair election, no less, and has the backing of an elected Republican Congress --then the nation has arrived at a “make-or-break point.”(snip)

Hillary is projecting. It’s Democrats who are intent on driving a stake through democracy’s heart.(snip)

Whatever wreckage Bill and Hillary leave in their wakes is always someone else’s trouble. If Hillary’s baloney stokes fears and enflames the passions of her party’s faithful, so be it. Hillary’s ends justify any means. The nation will be left to grapple with the conflicts and clean up the mess caused by her rabblerousing. Such is often the legacies of charlatans and demagogues.

Hitlery will suggest anything that will bring in donations to the Clinton Foundation - everything is for sale.

I don’t think her words carry as much weight as her ankles.

Hmm...sounds a little like "transforming" the country, doesn't it? Now who was it wanted to do that?
