Hating Donald Trump isn’t enough – we need to talk about why Hillary Clinton rules (Not satire)
The Manchester Guardian ^ | September 20, 2016 | Lindy West

Posted on 09/20/2016 10:28:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

If we care about our future as a non-blown-up planet, it’s time to stop treating the Democratic candidate as if she’s barely better than a literal white supremacist

If there’s one thing Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has taught us it’s to view every depraved moral nadir as a challenge, not a destination. You think this is bad? Wait for the tangy mouth garbage he’s got stewing for tomorrow. Then forget about it instantly – everyone else will! I heard state department employees sometimes email each other!!!

Just this week we’ve seen Trump metabolise the Chelsea bombing into an incoherent anti-Clinton smear before the shrapnel had even settled. I’ve listened to my Muslim friends express their fear of leaving the house after Monday’s unconscionably irresponsible emergency alert, the kind of histrionic racial profiling Trump vows to amplify. We’ve read up on Trump’s alignment with an anti-abortion extremist group, and his avowal to “get very tough” on “thing[s]” apparently including freedom of expression. We’ve clocked Trump’s pin-drop silence on the shooting deaths of Terence Crutcher and Tyre King, though – don’t worry – over the summer he promised to make the streets safer … for police. Trump “joked” (again!) about the assassination of Hillary Clinton. His son compared refugees, who are human beings who need our asylum to live, to Skittles, which are sweets....

Clinton has weathered intrusive, insulting, gendered smear campaigns – cookies, Benghazi, emails and pneumonia – with a grace rivalled only by Obama’s unflappable handling of birthers. She swam through tar every single day of her career and still surpassed male opponents who swam through water. She has been scrutinised in bad faith and beyond all reason for her entire campaign (and decades prior), and Republicans have still had to manufacture baroque, toothless scandals out of dust motes.

In addition to her seething rage, this creature lives in an alternate reality.

It is funny. Trump is doing two or three events a day. Illary’s had to miss her ONE FUNDRAISER this week.

Is there a shred of evidence that Trump is a “literal white supremacist”?

Not intended as satire, but so fictional it makes one laugh at the absurdity of it.

Lindy is an expert on Skittles.

Not only is he certainly NOT a white supremacist, he's not even all that literal. He speaks in metaphor and idiomatic phrases constantly. It's a very effective rhetorical style.

She convinced me—those GMO foods are bad for your brain as well as your body.

Not to mention blue dye!

I think that Slurpie froze her brain.

I think the “evidence” comes from a NYT (hit) piece back in August detailing Trump’s dad’s battles with the NYC housing commission (they claimed he discriminated against black people who tried to rent apartments from Trump (the father) back in the 70’s) and how Fred Trump met with some white supremacist back in the 40’s (or something like that). So sins of the father stuff (if they are even real themselves which there’s little proof of that)

However the piece (conveniently?) forgot to detail how Donald Trump was the first to open nightclubs in the Miami area open to Jews and blacks, how DT himself has never been directly linked to any kind of racism or racist act, and how no one today will go on record claiming such.

Yer typical NY Slimes hit-piece that blue tongue here takes as fact. Because the headline says so. And because it’s the NYTimes. And stuff.

If the writer is too dense to understand that if the streets are not safe for the Police, they sure are not likely to be safe for people in that neighborhood.

This piece is a clear example of the ocean wide divide between Leftist writers and the way normal people process data.
