re: #66 KGxvi

The amazing thing is, 80,000 votes or so in three states go the other way, and we have a completely different conversation.

Well, yes and no. We’d have a different president and different policies, but I don’t know how different the national tone and the body politic would be.

If Hillary were President, the howling hordes of the far right would be being whipped to a frenzy every day by FOX and other cult media. They would be in attack mode against the President and America itself, instead of attacking the FBI and media and trying to sweep the indefensible under the rug. We’d still have over 62 million people in America who were perfectly fine with an evil, self-centred king, and we’d still be hearing from Trump every day on CNN, and they would still treat him with deference and forget about his failings after a couple of days. They’d be attacking Hillary every day, instead of remembering to do it every couple of weeks or so.

Whoever won in 2016, we would still have to deal with the reality that at least 20% of Americans, and over 40% of the voting public, would happily send you and I to the camps because American media has taught them to hate for fun and convinced them that their hate is perfectly acceptable and normal.
