Serious Question: How is it that a person can support Hillary? (vanity)

Posted on 10/17/2016 12:26:29 PM PDT by Scythian_Reborn

I'm looking for serious answers, I really am. I know it's hard to avoid the one line quips and funny stuff but getting to the heart of this matter could save our nation.

I've been sitting here wondering how on earth a person could support and even worse be enthusiastic and cheer for Hillary at rallies? "It's beyond madness" I say to myself. And then I realize they think the same thing about us. "Trump is a Nazi" they say and so on. Yet, we know we're right, but then at the same time they are sure that they are the ones who are right. Yet we know we are right, yet they think the same thing.

To me it seems the answer to this question lies in knowing the truth. First one has to believe that there is such a thing as truth, second, that it can actually be determined, and thirdly one has to be willing to look into the truth even if that might make them uncomfortable, including totally unwinding their worldview entirely.

Back in 92 I actually voted for Clinton. I later then became a Christian in my early 30's, I mean a real awakening of Truth that could have only been of God. It changed everything, including examining what I thought to be true was in fact, not. And not just politically but in many aspects of my life.

I think back to those days and wonder, was I so sure that what I knew was the truth when I pulled that lever in 92 for Clinton? No, I really wasn't, I was a lightweight and I was smart enough to know I didn't really know. I think a lot of people on the left are like that. However, the media, which we now know is one and the same as the left, gives them comfort, reassures them daily that they are right, and just when a moment of doubt pops into their heads another news story on how evil Trump is fills the void.

I don't know what the answer is or if I am totally off base here. I am strongly reminded of C.S. Lewis and the Screw Tape letters.

Any further thoughts on this?

Simple answer. To liberals, a tyrant is okay so long as she is their tyrant.

Hillary voters fall into three categories. Bought at a good price, bought cheap, use fool idiots.

They aren’t supporting Hillary, just the “D” next to her name.

For an overpayment of a government employee wage and welfare.

Because her supporters hate you and they can be pretty sure she is going to make your miserable.

They are happy to do this even if means making their lives miserable too because they hate themselves well.

Such as it with perpetually angry and aggrieved.

1. Hillary is not Trump.
2. Hillary has a 'V'.
3. Hillary will continue to slop the public trough.

Those have to be the top 3 reasons to vote 'for' Hillary. There's no way she could stand a chance otherwise because of her history of lying.

Oh, and I voted Clinton in 92 as well. My name is wastoute, and I am a recovered Democrat. That was my last Rat vote. Do I get a coin or something?

You can’t eat nor go to college nor get medical care from your principles, no matter how highfallutin’ they may be. They don’t do anybody any good and never did. They only caused misery. Thus, you ought not have those principles. And while you’re at it, smarter people than you have figured out how to give EVERYBODY all those things you could never have gotten w/your illusory principles and so, you should abandon your morality to get those things you have and value which is how you must have gotten them if you have them and somebody else doesn’t, and so you’re a greedy SOB if you won’t share.

Willful consent to demonic deception. There are probably a lot fewer genuine Christians in America than we would like to assume.

Moonbats want globalism, open borders and a socialist economy. They think Hillary is more moderate than Sanders. Not that she is a centrist but going at a slower pace than Bernie.

Don’t underestimate the “first woman to be president” meme.
This election has the potential to have the largest gender gap in presidential election history.
Currently Trump is polling plus 7 with male likely voters and Clinton is polling plus 20 with female likely voters.
That is why the Clinton campaign’s “October Surprise” was aimed at turning off women voters.

The answer is simpler than you might think.
A fair amount of my friends supporting Clinton remember the prosperity of the late ‘90s and the CRASH of the 2000-2008
Yes, I know a President has little control over the global economy but THIS is what they remember.

This is how they view it.
Bush had a chance to help many high tech companies after the dot.com crash.
He decided to bomb Iraq instead.

I don’t agree with it, but this is what they firmly believe.

How does any communist tyrant get into power? Followers who believe they will be rewarded and looking to punish us, who they perceive are their enemies. However, they are also stupid followers, and don’t realize they end up as bad off as us. That is why History was taught in the past, and why Rats revise and do away with teaching History.

Same way people followeed Hitler or any other disaster. They are programed from childhood to think about politics a certain way and they simply tune out everything about her that challenges that ideological imprinting.

However the vast bulk of her support is from people who been fed a boogie man image of Trump. They aren’t voting for her, they are voting against the mythological “Nazi Trump” that has been created by the old style “News media” and the new propaganda arm of the Liberal Establishment “Social Media”.
