I don’t think Hillary was trying to fire up the base with her comments. Instead, IMO, it was just another attempt to demonize Trump, and demonize his supporters.

To what end? Maybe Hillary herself doesn’t know (or care). But one thing’s for sure. When you demonize Trump’s “deplorable” supporters, you make it much easier to justify violence against them.

“When you demonize Trump’s “deplorable” supporters, you make it much easier to justify violence against them.”

And maybe fire up their resolve to defend themselves, with deadly force if necessary.
