It’s not funny because this tactic works. Maybe not in such a short timeline, but it worked on Hillary Clinton. Ask any republican what they think of her and they’ll tell you she’s a bitch. Ask them how long they’ve thought of her as such and it’ll be over 12 years. Ask them why and the only solid response they’ll have is Benghazi and maybe a crack about not satisfying Bill. She has been vilified for mundane things to turn her into a wholly annoying person that actually hurts her public image.

So while I’m with you, it’s fun to pick apart this insult to show how boring it is, I can’t help but fear it’s effectiveness. This is coming from the group that thought Hillary would start a war every month. You know, because all the other wars, all under men, were naturally occurring or something.

Pokemon go to the polls!

I mean Trumpists don’t care about facts, they will lap anything up.

But Hillary was hated all over the spectrum.

Ignoring several states in her campaign.

Being absolutely unrelatable.

Her policies very conservative.

Generally acting like the world owed her the position.

Attacking victims of sexual assault. I’m sure there are a lot of other genuine reasons for not liking her. I was not brain washed into hating her. I still voted for her.
