THAT has been the most demoralizing part

That half of my fellow Americans willingly embraced Nazi Fascism

One of the best parts. They outed themselves.

"Basket of Deplorables" -- as I'm tired of repeating, Hilary was right.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

She was. She was John the Baptist but wanted to be Jesus. Opinion on her was fully established so even if she was 45% positive you could never move the dial on the 6% you needed to push her over the top.

She would have been an outstanding attack dog for a fresh candidate if she could have put her ego aside and accept that it wouldn't be her.

She was trying to follow eight years of Obama that had primed an electorate for a radical change candidate. She was not going to be that and in fact personified that her Party would unfortunately not be the one to change.

This is it. I never got it until I read this. Obama was a work horse president. He actually overcame the conservative ratchet system and turned the dial towards liberal. He made the ACA and it was overall decent, even Conservatives liked it. They hate Obamacare if you mention it and want it destroyed, but will not want anything to happen to the ACA.

Hillary just didn't bring this vibe. I believe she was just a republican in democrat skin that was being put forward. Kamala gave me that same vibe.

We need to hear some batshit crazy stuff. The next democratic president needs break rules using executive orders just like Trump did. Abolish Citizens United and then arrest any judge that dares rule against the order, all the way up to the SCOTUS ... it seems the president has this authority now.

No, she wasn't.

If they hadn't rigged the primary for her, we never would have had a Trump.

Not sure why this is downvoted. Almost all superdelegates already lined up for her at the start of the campaign and she already had an agreement with the DNC to control the party's finances and strategy in exchange for fundraising.

How many inbred people, even trump hates

Maybe Reagan shouldn't have closed down the mental institutes and facilitate the stifling of access to mental health

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Looking back, I'm starting to believe it was a long-term political calculus, not just abandoning the most vulnerable in our society...

Unfortunately, realization is amazingly escapable.

[-] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I am born and raised in a small rural town in northern Nevada, and from my personal experience people have always been this level of unhinged in someway or another. With the rise of the Internet and Trump. It just became more easily accessible to talk to and listen to other unhinged individuals.
