Yes, this is all completely insane, and yes this is a speeding train that cannot be stopped. Unfortunately, we can't turn back time to four years ago when Dems had enough power to have done something to ensure this lunatic didn't land back in office. But hey, we will have the last laugh when we are in the proverbial (and possibly, actual) breadlines screaming "I told you so!". In the meantime, make note of any Dem who sides with this in any way, and vote them the hell out of office next chance you get.

I can never stop thinking that if Hillary ran a better campaign, or lost the nomination to Biden, we would never be in this situation.

And I can't stop thinking that all the bs manipulation we saw from MSM in the last four years actually started in 2016. Remember the underground pedophile pizza parlor and the email server nonsense? If we don't have a free press anymore it's because the owners and editors believe they are part of the ruling class.

Oh, and fuck Newt Gingrich and the bootleg tea party.

Yes. Thank you! Hillary's campaign was good enough to win the popular vote. I hate when our side quotes right-wing propaganda, also.

Hillary won the popular vote. The electoral college put the orange parasite in the Oval Office.

So, this is all Hillary’s fault?

Seems like somehow it’s always the woman’s fault for some people, doesn’t it? From Eve right on down the line.

Yep. It’s how patriarchy perpetuates itself and has done since the beginning of time.

You're kidding right? Let's roll tape of Rachel Maddow every night for many months before and after the 2016 election screaming about Russian interference. It was real. People in the US who are Russian sympathizers participated in the takeover of our gvmt then. There were investigations and convictions, people went to jail over election interference. 2016 was a stolen election.

Biden refused to run in 2016 because he had just lost his beloved son Beau to brain cancer. He wanted time to mourn it would have been wrong to force him to run.

Didn't realize this. Did they have any other options? It always seemed to me that Hillary was kind of awarded the job. And they never quite realized how much she was disliked by much of the electorate.

She was voted the most popular woman, on the Gallup poll, for 17 years straight. Until Michelle Obama finally took the number 1 spot. She has an extensive resume, lawyer specializing in women and children’s rights, NY state senator, Secretary of State, Former first lady who tried to give us healthcare long before it was a twinkle in Bernie’s eye. The republicans would not allow it though. And people that meet her, like her very much, even the dipshit that funded all those smears against the “White water, travelgate” etc. Richard Mellon Scaife, a conspiracy theorist from the Mellon banking fortune, liked her, once he met her (he employed a sleezy private investigator that strung him along for a paycheck.).

unless she was running for office then the propaganda started up.

100%. I remember her first primary run for pres in NH when I lived there and the mantra that 'nobody' liked her or 'everyone' hated her. She had balls of steel to run with that shit trailing her all the time. Cue eye roll. But mostly I thought, I've never actually heard her speak about anything because the news does it for her..."Hillary said this, Hillary said that" and we know talking heads are full of shit. And Obama saying he would never be a VP behind her. She was awesome and carried a big stick with Putin because she was in the WH with Bill. Crimea and Ukraine might have been spared invasion. I'm confident we wouldn't be here now if the 2016 election was free and legit, and the outcome definitely isn't her fault.

I wish everyone had paid attention as well as you did! We’d be in a better place for sure.
