I STILL keep seeing this argument-- "Oh we have a madman in the presidency because the Democrats forced Hillary on us".
It is such complete obnoxious bullshit I can hardly maintain my composure when I see it.
I know, preaching to the choir here, but still--
First, it was clear from when he first announced that Trump would be EXACTLY like this, and I warned everyone as much as I possibly could. It wasn't that hard to see either. We had countless articles warning us of this, in fact.
Second, to say that "oh Hillary didn't excite people enough" is complete patronizing bullshit. Everyone who votes has agency to see the difference, and if anyone refused to believe that Trump was a madman and Hillary was just as bad as him, then they are to blame for our current situation. Period.
Third, this argument also ignores the three ways the election was actually stolen from Hillary which are actually separate from the media bias against her. 1) Republican voter ID laws and other efforts to suppress the African-American vote. 2) Russian hacking of Democratic emails that led to spread of disinformation about Hillary. 3) Comey's October surprise bullshit news release.
Fourth, we really need to deal with the madman.
