Hillary Clinton Says Something True and Accurate for Once

Has it finally happened? Has Hillary Clinton at long last actually said something honest and accurate? In an interview with PBS Friday, the once and possibly future presidential candidate warned that the 2022 elections were shaping up to be a showdown between “authoritarianism” and “democracy,” and for the first time in Hillary Clinton’s long and distinguished political career, she is actually quite likely to be correct. As you might expect, however, she is only right by accident, and in a way that is diametrically opposite to what she intended.

PBS’ Judy Woodruff asked Clinton, “The midterms: conventional wisdom is, not a good year for the Democrats. As you know, when your husband was president, President Clinton, under President Obama, huge losses in the House races in the middle of the first term. Do you have any reason to believe it’s going to be different this year?”

Hillary answered:

Well, I know the history, so I’m aware of the challenges, but I’m not about to throw in the towel or give up. I mean, I think it depends upon, you know, number one, uh, whether Democrats are willing to point out the extremism that has captured the Republican party. And to make it clear, this is not about special interest groups, this is not about one group of Americans versus another, this is about the rise of authoritarianism within our own country. This is a direct attack on our democracy. So if Democrats are willing, you know, not only to address the issues that are kitchen table issues, which we do pretty well, but also to raise some of the concerns about what kind of country we’re going to have, uh, I think that we can do better than is predicted.

...whether Democrats are willing to point out the extremism that has captured the Republican Democrat party...

There...fixed.

[Bogie]

Merely the rambling of a confused mind.

I think the Bitch has it backwards. She thinks she is a democrat when she is really a totalitarian.

[Rummyfan]

.... in order to save “democracy” (by which Leftists always mean their own political and cultural hegemony) from the Republicans’ “authoritarianism,” we have to impose censorship. In order to save the patient, we apparently have to kill him. This legerdemain reveals the Left’s utter cynicism: Leftists such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but by no means only them, think so little of the intellectual capabilities of the American people that they think they can bamboozle them into acquiescing to authoritarianism under the guise of fighting authoritarianism, and giving up their freedom of speech in order to save it.

Like Huey Long said, if you want to establish a fascist party in the United States, just call it the anti-fascist party. Presto!

[Migraine]

The thing she said that was true and accurate was: “you know”.

Youbetcherfatass I know.

And a con artist criminal.

[TLI]

a showdown between “authoritarianism” and “democracy,”

The terminology is incorrect.

a showdown between “authoritarianism” rule of law and “democracy,” communism.

No she missed it by a mile.

Authoritarianism versus Republicanism.

I wasn’t aware that doing away with the U. S. Constitution
was considered normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that declaring men and women to be an outdated
reality, that now has mutated into 72 genders, was normal
not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that stealing elections was normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that demanding towns get rid of their police
to be normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that burning down business districts was
consider normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that teaching kindergartners about LGBTxyz,
and homosexuality was normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that killing one million pre-born children
was considered normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that killing over 60 million pre-born
children over the last 50 years, was normal. I guess we
were lagging in the history before that.

I wasn’t aware that having Democrat politicians and
business people visiting an island to sc_ew underage
girls was normal, not extreme.

I wasn’t aware that lying about a sitting president in
order to get him removed or tossed in prison was normal
rather than extreme.

I wasn’t aware that teaching White five year olds that they
were part of an evil race was normal, not extreme.

Hillary needs to learn more about CRT.

Completely Ridiculous Theory

[DoughtyOne]

I wasn’t aware having a shadow government was normal, not
extreme.

In the end, she’s so banal.

Authoritarianism

She saw how the last election was held and hopes for a repeat.
