There is certainly a case to be
made that Republicans complaining about how the Democrats “treated” Donald
Trump is more than a bit hypocritical, considering the way they the “treated”
Bill Clinton—which is highly ironic, given his efforts to work with his
principle enemy, Newt Gingrich; let us recall that this “partnership” had
serious consequences for the country, such as potentially jailing “super-predator”
pot smokers for life, and a financial “reform” law that set-up the “Great
Recession.”
There is another “connection”
between Trump and specifically Hillary Clinton: they are both equally arrogant,
bullying narcissists with a habit of insults and accusations against their
perceived “enemies,” lacking in introspection, and a habit of engaging in
constant deceiving to the point where they live in their own alternate “fact”
universe where they are convinced that their lies are “truth.” We can certainly
argue that was in large part the reason why voters couldn’t tell the difference
between the two in the 2016 election—and millions of “undecideds” chose the
candidate they just didn’t know as well.
Clinton nevertheless expected
people to vote for her largely because
she was a woman for “historical” reasons; she must have had a reason to believe
that her gender was more a “plus” than a “negative” when up against a boor like
Trump, which in her mind had to be a godsend. But Clinton’s “experience” and “accomplishments”
were way overstated. She alienated even Democratic lawmakers when she was in
charge of the failed 1993 health care bill, and her time as Secretary of State
could be described as a four-year vacation at taxpayer expense. Clinton was
someone you either “loved” or “hated,” but for most Bernie Sanders supporters
it was a question between authenticity and fraudulence, and in the end the
fraud won out in the primaries. It was only after her election loss that she
twisted the narrative back to being a “victim” of her gender, and overlook her
many, many personal faults.
Hillary Clinton just will not pick
up her toys and go home. Her self-serving propaganda “documentary” during the
2020 primaries was clearly aimed at convincing the Democratic establishment to
consider her an “alternative” to the other primary candidates, particularly
Sanders if he won a plurality, but not a majority, of the delegates. Clinton’s
tone-deaf defenders won’t go away either, such as those responsible for her
latest whine-fest, the New York Times
and columnist Michelle Goldberg. Clinton claimed that QAnon were spreading lies
about her and making overboard rhetorical threats on her person (which is the
only point in her favor), but then there was the once-again eye-rolling
assertion that everything said against her is just part of the “larger cultural
sexism and misogyny.” Yeah, that’s right, just blame everything on “sexism” and
“misogyny,” just as you made a play for the white racist vote in the 2008
primaries by claiming being “white” was also against you.
Clinton whined to Goldberg that "For me, it does go back to my earliest days in
national politics, when it became clear to me that there was a bit of a market
in trafficking in the most outlandish accusations and wild stories concerning
me, my family, people that we knew, people close to us.” This is Clinton in “alternate
universe” mode. In the real world, the Clintons
were very much like Trump, getting away with corrupt business deals and making
up their own “facts.” Remember “Cattlegate”? Hillary invested $1,000 into
cattle futures of all things, and 10 months later walked away with a $100,000
“profit.” One financial expert said there was a 2-trillion-to-one shot that
could have happened; if Clinton was just some “nobody” and not the wife of a
governor, there would have been a serious criminal investigation into that, and
she would likely have been sitting in prison for a few years. That is what you
call benefiting from “privilege and “entitlement.”
Remember
Whitewater? The Ken Starr probe was limited because those “in the know,” just
wouldn’t talk; Susan McDougal—who received a “suspicious” $300,000 loan after
Bill Clinton put pressure on a lender—even went to prison for contempt of court
for her refusal to testify against the Clintons. She later received a
presidential pardon for her “loyalty.” Vince Foster, who worked at the Rose Law
firm with Hillary Clinton, was suspected of knowing about the “details” of the
land deal gone awry, and he was “persuaded” against his will to tag along with
the Clintons to Washington DC so that they could keep him “close.” Fact: after
his apparent suicide, FBI agents were prevented from searching for evidence
while Clinton aides ransacked his office. What were they looking for? Fact:
While the Clintons were protected by presidential immunity, in Arkansas 15
people—including Bill Clinton’s successor as governor—were convicted and jailed
on charges related to the Whitewater and Castle Grande scandals.
There were several minor
“scandals” that Hillary was involved in during the Clinton administration,
although they were small potatoes compared to what occurred during the Trump
administration. But she also gave hints of a darker side of herself that was a
product of her self-obsessed “victim” status being born a white woman, which
she described in her usual self-serving manner to Goldberg:
This is rooted in ancient scapegoating of
women, of doing everything to undermine women in the public arena, women with
their own voices, women who speak up against power and the patriarchy, This is
a Salem Witch Trials line of argument against independent, outspoken, pushy
women. And it began to metastasize around me.
Sounds like Hillary is unfamiliar with the "MeToo," "cancel culture" and "Ibelieveyou" movements that domestic abuser Amber Heard has milked to the bone (talk about having your life ruined by marrying someone like her). Besides, nobody really likes “pushy” people, male or female—especially people who use it as a cudgel to claim they are the “victim” and not the people they abuse. In his book Crisis of Character, former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne described Clinton as having a “volcanic” temper who “terrified” staff, demeaning and abusing anyone who didn’t “please” her; he also reported an "encounter" that ended with Bill sporting a black eye.
Sounds a lot like Trump, right? And why should we “overlook” her inventing the
racist “super-predator” term, her race-baiting to white voters during a 2008
primary Pennsylvania rally, her unhinged RFK assassination reference, sending
her stand-ins to rail against the “inadequate black male” and employing feminist
columnist Bonnie Erbe to “advise” Barack Obama to “step aside” because “white
people won’t vote for you.” And there are Clinton loyalists who still don’t
understand why a lot of people just don’t like Clinton for moral and ethical
reasons. In a nutshell, she is just as corrupt as Trump is.
Like
Trump, Clinton is the type where “loyalty” is paramount, and if you don’t
“love” them, then you are the “enemy.” If you question their version of
“reality,” they attack you and falsely impugn your motives. It doesn’t matter
if there are very good reasons to dislike and distrust people like this;
everything is “explained” by how they define their own sense of victimhood. In
a nutshell, Hillary Clinton has been inventing her own “conspiracy theories” to
explain away her failures.
