    Let’s play the “just imagine” game and imagine if Hillary had said this. Or Kamala. Or Obama. Or Biden. Or Bill Clinton.

    The cons would never, ever stop melting down. Same with the Murc’s Law Media, they’d probably still be writing Big Think Pieces on how imperfect the Democrats really are decades later.

      All Hillary did was call them all deplorable, and they all clutched their pearls over it.

        Not trying to single you out. I think people often miss the point of how conservatives react. They’re tribal. It doesn’t matter what Hillary said, they would have been up in arms regardless, because they just want their team to win at any cost.

        Didn’t even go THAT far.

        She said HALF of his VOTERS.

        That was roughly 9% of the population at the time, a far cry from the half the media and the people fooled by it have been claiming ever since

        Exactly. They did the same thing when Obama called them bitter clingers, too. And both of them were absolutely right, by the way.

      Remember when Republicans were freaking out that SOMEONE was definitely hiding information about Biden’s health? And then Mitch disappeared for like months and Trump keeps falling asleep in public and not a peep lol
