Internalized misogyny also played a part in suspicion of her from women and confusion a woman accomplished more than they did for men.
I will admit, I had to do some soul searching on my own limitations I set for myself in 2008. Women have not always learned to support each other. We easily project our own pain on women. It just didn’t stick to men in the same way. I think Hillary is a Scorpio and I noticed when she let her intense heart show I found her compelling. The tight rope she walked was painful to watch.
I was delighted that women used the, I have her back, campaign with Kamala.
One of the biggest lies from the right-wing is that the media is "Liberal". There is no liberal mass media in the United States. MSNBC and CNN only *seem* to be left-leaning, because everything else is so very far to the right.
@unk-p MSNBC shows more trump than CNN. CNN was showing pieces of a trump event while MSNBC was showing the whole thing. ABC seems to be Republican or at least George Stepanopalus (spelling, sorry!) This is separate of the Sinclair Org.
Although I understand everyone's different opinions on why Hillary lost let's not forget in spite of all of the propaganda against her, she still managed to win the popular vote. The outdated electoral college is the reason she's not in the White House. The American people are not dumb. Our system is.
I wasn't going to post this, but I had a vision-dream of Trump last night that might have some bearing anyway.
In my vision-dream he'd lost his right arm. He spent a lot of time bullying people to get a nurse/doctor to put it back on. He wanted them to do it at home (WH) because nobody should find out. Although people did scramble, the fear of him was gone.
I thought this was about him losing support in cabinet, but I read in another thread that there was a tweet about mini-strokes. I now wonder if that is what my vision was about: a bigger stroke coming up ao.
Yes, a bigger stroke could certainly be on the way. However, when I saw his "right arm had fallen off", i thought of his "right hand man", which could be any number of people (maybe Pence?) had abandoned him or betrayed him. Just a thought, but maybe not a very good one. ;-)
@tgraf66, yup that was my first thought as well. That his right hand man was gone, very literal when looking at the vision. With the strokes thing going on though... loss of use of one's right or left arm sounds very much like stroke or heart related.
It is sad that our country has been divided for so long and that we have suffered at the hands of this man for so long. My aunt died of a massive stroke, and while I do not wish for his death, I admit that I would feel nothing if Trump had a stroke right now, for several reasons:
1. It would be fitting that Trump was hit with a disability that would render him dependent on others, given how he has lied about Hillary Clinton's and Joe Biden's health for years. I will also never forget when he made fun of that reporter many years ago for his disability. So if Trump had a stroke that incapacitated him after all he has done, it would feel, to me, like karma.
2. I hate to say this, but if Trump were to suffer a stroke before November 3, 2020, then it would be the best possible thing for our country. Regardless of whether he loses by a little or by a lot, he will argue that the election was stolen from him. Also, even if he concedes (or if he refuses to leave and has to be forcefully removed from office), then he will send the last few months of his presidency causing havoc by appointing Trump judges and ensuring that his underlings leave their offices in chaos before Biden's team enters.
3. If Trump does suffer a stroke and Pence takes over temporarily, I don't see Trump getting a "sympathy vote" from independents who are still undecided. If anything, independent voters will flock to Biden because they are afraid that if Trump wins and takes over, his "mind" can't be trusted based on the stroke, and there is an elevated chance he will die much sooner than expected. That is not necessarily true, but it is what will be perceived. Further, Pence is not the type that brings out the Trump crowds like Trump does, so his voters will be demoralized and some won't vote.
4. As much as I hate to say it, a stroke would work in Trump's favor as well. He would be allowed to resign gracefully (or Congress Republicans can "resign" him without the same political fallout that would happen to them if they tried to remove him from office another way). Also, state prosecutors who are still investigating his crimes would be less likely to ask for jail time for him. Further, he would not be a "loser" at the election, so his supporters won't be as violent as they would be if he ran and lost. So a stroke would be a good thing for him too, in a sense.
So, sad as this is, I feel that if Trump does has a stroke that incapacitates him, it would be the best possible thing for this country as a whole. No, I don't want Trump to die. He does not deserve to have a televised memorial service or to be interned in State. But if he was hit with an underlying condition where it was obvious to everyone, it would be justice not only for him, but for the Republican party at large, whose attacks on health care and refusal to take Covid-19 seriously has caused millions of deaths over the years for people with pre-existing conditions who can't afford health care costs and recently from this pandemic. As evil as this may sound, the idea of Trump, the Republican standard bearer, being incapacitated with a stroke would be the best possible scenario to allow this country to heal.
I am sorry if this offends anyone. Again, I don't actively hope for this, but I must be truthful with myself by admitting that Trump being incapacitated with a major stroke would be met with a feeling of relief by myself. It is sad that it has come to this, but his actions over the years has made it all but impossible for me to think otherwise. At worst, he is an enemy that will destroy our nation and everyone in it. At best, he is a damaged human being that can't be saved because he choses not to be saved. I have tried to look for light in him. I really have. But he doesn't have any, because he actively shields the light within him until it is at the point where it is either flickering or in danger of going out completely.
I can only pray that he leaves as painlessly as possible and that his underlings follow quickly thereafter, allowing the rest of this country to heal and reconcile. If a stroke is the best way to do it, then I am ashamed to say that I will shed no tears on his behalf.
@moonbeam The right arm is usually the dominant arm so losing it would make him less able to function in the way he is accustomed (I wanted to say "function normally", but we know that would be a stretch for this person).
I wonder if "right arm" could be an "arm" of the Republican party ("The Right"). This probably wouldn't be a far-Right arm, but maybe more of the moderate Republicans who do see what he's doing to the country and decide not to enable it anymore.
