    You can’t underestimate decades of getting people to subconsciously hate Hillary Clinton and what that does to voters. Many hated her. Few actually had a reason when asked

    There’s a reason the GOP goes so hard at AOC in 2020+. They see her as a real threat to the presidency in 2040+ and they want decades of demonization in the bank

      @Saneless @RandallFlagg The Conservatives in #Canada do the same repetitive attacks on #Trudeau and are having some success- many cite a hate for Trudeau but when asked why they have literally no reason- unfortunate so many want to be told what to think rather then vetting information- critical thinking needs to be a value not a nuisance.

          Yeah that’s definitely not unique to Canada unfortunately

          Even in local politics we have idiots here who are blaming “out of state corporate interests” for wanting to vote yes for a bill

          MF the only reason you’re parroting that shit is because of the corporate interests who bribe the politicians who tell you want to think

        @Sbhinclusion @Saneless @RandallFlagg The hate is that their assumptions and privileges are being called out. That these no longer protect and isolate them from the world’s problems. They hate that they must make hard decisions that effect themselves and the ones they love. They hate that they are vulnerable. It’s new and it’s ugly and they consider it unfair. Saying F*ck has never solved a problem
