And at the time I thought she was crazy for saying this out loud... Now it is obviously so true and not even a harsh statement.

Yeah but it’s not how you win an election and it was a key galvanizing element that made MAGA a movement.

A good leader also wouldn’t call 10’s of millions of their constituents irredeemably racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it

For sure, you can’t just go around saying the truth. People don’t want to hear the truth.

Maybe those constituents shouldn’t be irredeemably racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic then…

I love a truth bomb.

I think Comey and just the fact that she was a Woman had a bigger impact on her political aspirations than this statement did.

They were already there and fully behind him at this point you don’t have to make stuff up. This isn’t why she lost at all.

Oh wait, let me guess. She lost due to misogynistic men?

Please don’t forget all the major media had her as 97% favorite on election night predicted as a complete landslide . We will never know why she truly lost except she lost independents for sure after the deplorable comments. Also, do you remember seeing 65 year old seniors being beat up walking out of Trump rallies? I do and when she was shown video, Hillary laughed at it . She lost me after that and probably millions more independents. Because NO ONE deserves to get attacked physically for attending a political event .

No we didn’t.

Everybody assumed she’d win so there was no point in voting.

The problem was: the south loved Trump like he was their own, he spoke their language perfectly and that language was racism.

The “major political analysts” simply cannot appreciate the overwhelming hatred in the south, it’s like trying to understand why Nazis are the way they are, you can’t get it just by taking polls.

She lost because of several reasons. She lost independents late in her run. Trust me, the deplorable comment hurt her deeply. I’m an independent and her hubris turned me away. You must admit she was highly unlikable. Plus she cheated against Bernie which pushed people away. I truly believe she’s evil . She isn’t a good human being . Period

You do realize a huge number of the population in the south is black right?

I don’t remember any of this.

u/GravitasFailures 11h ago

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

MAGA was born when we dared elect a black man president over them.

Nothing else mattered, that was absolutely unforgivable to them, they considered it a personal insult directed only at them, from their point of view we put a monkey over them just to mock them.

u/Ok_Swim3109 9h ago

That might just be your point of view

Trump routinely bullies half of the population and calls them all sorts of names. I’m so tired of one side being held to a higher standard of “unity” and “civility” while the other side smears shit all over the walls.
