(13,305 posts)I'm being sarcastic about this whole thing.
When anyone said anything critical of Hillary, the hanky dabbing, fainting couch types would say how horrible it was and that the worst thing that could be done by anyone, anywhere is say things about Democrats that Republicans could use to discredit progressives/dems whatever.
Now that Trump is using a term loved by many of those same folks it's suddenly ridiculous or disgusting to use that as an excuse or make that connection.
I do think it's ridiculous. I don't think Trump got the term alt-left from here and would have probably come up with it on his own or from one of his minions. It would be ridiculous to seriously think that. But I don't think he got his talking points from Bernie speeches during the primary and would have come up with the same points against Hillary regardless. Both are idiotic connections to make. I only take issue with the hypocrisy.
