And I think this mother-fear-resentment thing rings true. We are so vulnerable and dependent on mommy, and she has way too much power over us. Someone like HRC, who we've all known for decades, could easliy trigger this unconscious reaction.

It's the only thing that explains the toxic vitriol. It's not rational. She's not actually firghtening: But fRump is.

That's why it's so puzzling to hear even women spit out how they fear her and see him as a savior: It's all freudian subconscious fear.
