Ever since Donald Trump won the presidential election, all eyes, and wringing hands, have been on the white blob who voted for him. These "loud, illiterate and credulous people," as a sap at Salon (brands them), think on an "emotional level." Bill Moyers (warned) that ours is a "dark age of unreason," in which "low information" folks are lining up behind ( "The Trump Emotion Machine.") Trump supporters relate to him as a "cult leader fused with the idea of the nation."
What's funny about this is not simply that it's the biggest chattering-class hissy fit of the 21st century so far — and chattering-class hissy fits are always funny. It's that whatever you think of Trump (I'm not a fan) or his supporters (I think they're mostly normal, good people), the fact is they've got nothing on the Clinton cult when it comes to creepy, pious worship of a politician.
[snip]It's all incredibly revealing. What it points to is a mainstream, Democratic left that is so bereft of ideas and so disconnected from everyday people that it ends up pursuing an utterly substance-free politics of emotion and feeling and doesn't even realize it's doing it. They are good, everyone else is bad; they are light itself, everyone else is darkness; and so no self-awareness can exist and no self-criticism can be entertained. Not for even (one second) , in Heffernan's words. The Cult of Hillary Clinton is the clearest manifestation yet of the 21st-century problem of life in the political echo chamber.

I recognize the fact that were it not for the Clinton's and the Obamas and this administration, there probably would not be a Donald Trump and I duly thank them for that! ......We are truly looking forward to his administration and Trump as POTUS with utter glee!!!
I am pleased that, the lifelong dream of Hillary to become the first woman president, will likely now never happen.
Some other woman will be our first woman president.
It is my fervent hope and prayer, that this woman will be conservative. Someone in the Margaret Thatcher mold would be just fine.
The aftermath of this election, really shows just how arrogant and sanctimonious the liberals really are.
bfl
Project much, Bill Moyers? You just described Obama and Hillary voters, perfectly.
Then again, this moron thought Joseph Campbell was really on to something at the Skywalker Ranch.
Having seen that, I could tell he was a clueless as Peter Jennings.
Bull****
Bullstars!
It has been so nice and quiet not hearing the short, sharp shrieking shrill of Hillary Roddamn Clinton. And Bills arteries are hardening. The Clintons are finished. Ding Dong the witch is dead.
The Clinton’s remaining days are going to be miserable and they deserve every miserable minute.
Real America told these leftist anti-American punks to Stuff it. They can’t believe it and are in denial and blame mode. Every time I read the lie that Hillary won the popular vote, I want to puke. Nobody knows who won the popular vote because thousands of votes weren’t even counted after states were called. Most absentee ballots weren’t even opened, and the military went overwhelmingly for Trump. I didn’t know that old commie Bill Moyers was still alive.
Give the guy a break. As an "FOB W", he's merely giving moral support to choomer BHO, and fellow alcoholic HRC.
On second thought, he should go to Betty Ford or equivalent, and leave life to those that can appreciate it without deliberately wanting to ruin it for everybody else out of pure spite.
“FOB W” is a new one on me ... lol.
Though I can see the context you’re giving.
My hope is the woman is a woman
You’re forgetting their spawn. And Her two spawns.
It's called the Hall Of Mirrors
Where each persons thoughts are mirrored
Reinforcing the collective illusion
“...a mainstream, Democratic left that is so bereft of ideas and so disconnected from everyday people that it ends up pursuing an utterly substance-free politics of emotion and feeling and doesn’t even realize it’s doing it.

For later
Some other woman will be our first woman president.
Yes, I can now tell my daughter that she may someday become president, but she won't have to lie, cheat, still, bribe, commit perjury, treason, and all kinds of other crimes along the way.
Ooops: still = steal
If the author is interested in cults with strict rules and banal utterances then he need look no farther than himself and the rest of the atheists who never pass up a chance to mock Christ and Christians - in this case by equating them with followers of Hubbard/Scientology.
