Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

We're gonna hit the 2016 Bingo!
I despise Hilldawg as much as anyone here, but she was correct with this comment of hers and the right intentionally made it seem like she was talking about all of Trump’s supporters when she clearly wasn’t.
It really was exceptional how some truly awful people like David Duke and Richard Spenser and others were coming out of the woodwork to support Trump (because he was the only GOP politician to come out and talk about immigration and deportation). I’m talking about open white supremacists - the absolute right fringe. If you followed these neo-Nazi groups like I did at the time, they were all thrilled about Trump, it was a real phenomenon. These are people who usually never endorsed even republicans before. Hillary was pointing out that hey, if some of the people who we all agree are terrible are supporting Trump maybe that says something. That’s not how the right took it and I think they worked up their hog base over it, even though it was deployed cynically by them.
If anything it's another thing on theblist of reasons to fucking hate her.
After a year long election she finally actually stood for something and called out the fact half (generous) of all Trump supporters were full of shit and not worth arguing with because they weren't doing it in good faith.
And then she fucking apologized and spent the last days kissing MAGAts ass.
