General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Just heard the best description of Trump from a disenchanted supporter: [View all]Squinch
(52,126 posts)scandals that they have tried for 30 years to attach to Hillary. The litmus test to whether you believed the scandals was whether you WANTED to believe them. It had nothing to do with proof, because there never WAS any proof that she was guilty of anything they accused her of.
My opinion is that most of those who wanted to believe the lies about her were people who see successful women as an existential threat. The scandals were just a smokescreen for that.
Just like a vote FOR trump(R), a vote against Hillary in this general was just another side of the same coin of sexism and racism and overall turdishness.
NOTE: I am a big fan of hers, but I would feel very differently about those who voted against her in the general if her opponent had even a single decent bone in his body. If that had been the case, there would have been something to point to to explain WHY someone would vote against her. In the general election we just had, there was nothing to explain it besides bigotry.
