HEY MEDIA, HILLARY DIDN’T LOSE, PUTIN WON!

Trump had one thing right, our media is evil! Hey, media, you can’t keep reporting that the election was hacked by Russians, and then say with any credibility that Hillary had a messaging problem; she won the popular vote by 3 million votes. That doesn’t sound like a messaging problem, or a personality problem, or an electability problem. She didn’t even have a WWC problem.  What she had was a bigot problem.  For the bigots, she would never be accepted no matter how low she would have stooped for their vote.

Hillary’s message was for the masses and was inclusive. If you are for women’s right, worker’s rights, LGBTQ rights, climate control, sensible gun control, children’s rights, affordable healthcare for everyone, living wages, affordable education for everyone, and working with the global community for sustainable peace, then Hillary was/is the right candidate. Her message was right on the money. We heard it and we loved it!

For all her opponents(and she has many, including Russia), they just decided that it was better to let corporate America and Putin run the country. They wanted a racist, misogynist, xenophobic, oppressive, corrupt leader whose only interest was power for power’s sake. Nothing Trump said was believable. A carnival barker, conman, mobster, pathological malignant narcissist was what was on the other side.  Americans rejected it but Trump had much help from Russian. His campaign was infested with Russophiles: Trump, Manafort, Epstein, Gorka, Flynn, Sessions, Tillerson, Page, Guiliani, all of his adult children, Kislyak, to name a few. These people all admire and some even worked for despots and dictators.

The blind hatred for President Obama and after him Hillary Clinton from the right caused them to have a collective psychosis! Even if the supporters were given irrefutable evidence that Trump was criminal they would vote for him.  Not because Hillary is a bad messenger or politician but because the hatred for women and POC is off the damn charts in this country! Trump said it himself, he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and wouldn’t lose a single vote. Each disgusting thing he said or did was pushing them into cult-like behavior. Once they’d negotiated all their morals and values(probably never had any), he took them to the point of no return by inviting Russia and Wikileaks to hack our election. He had closed the deal when he didn’t lose voters. We are not post-racial and women still are treated badly in this country(see, Bill O’Reilly). And the right wing is ok with that.

Trump said it himself, he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and wouldn’t lose a single vote. He was banking on his vile bullying and White Nationalist rhetoric to attract the most undesirables. The “disaffected” Hillbillies. J. D. Vance even wrote a book, “Hillbilly Elegy”, which put them in a very sympathetic light. But the underbelly of this group was most ugly to see.   Each disgusting thing he said or did was pushing them into cult-like behavior. Once they’d negotiated all their morals and values(probably never had any), he took them to the point of no return by inviting Russia and Wikileaks to hack our election. He had closed the deal when he didn’t lose voters. We are not post-racial and women still are treated badly in this country(see, Bill O’Reilly). And the right wing is ok with that.

But Trump took advantage of these self-dispossessed folks. Their seething hatred and fear of the other motivated them to vote for Trump. The rallies were hate-filled and prone to violence toward protesters. They knew his promises were lies but if it Trump could make immigrants, POC, women suffer they were all in.  Each disgusting thing he said or did was pushing them further into cult-like behavior. Once they’d negotiated all their morals and values(probably never had any), he took them to the point of no return by inviting Russia and Wikileaks to hack our election. Once they’d accepted that he knew he’d closed the deal when he didn’t lose voters. We are not post-racial and women still are treated badly in this country(see, Bill O’Reilly). And the right wing is ok with that.

And the right wing is ok with that. So much so, they want to go back to 1950…because that was when America was great: pre-Civil Rights, pre-Women’s Rights, pre-Roe v. Wade, pre-Marriage Equality.  Well, guess what, conservatives and GOP? We’re not going back and WE’RE STILL WITH HER!
