HRC: Trump Supporters Should Be "Formally Deprogrammed"? / GOP Base Made Of Bigots

facepalm

   There are, of course, some cultish Trumpistas. As there were cultish Obamatrons. Don't even get mestarted on the Woketarians...

   The "formal deprogramming" remark was ill-advised, and I don't believe that she believes that. It was an off-hand remark. People say "maybe we need to x" in roughly such contexts all the time without really meaning it. As in "Maybe we just need to split from Blue America--I dunno." I think such utterances are more like expressions of frustration than serious policy proposals.

   Of course the GOP base isn't mainly bigots--though there's some bigotry everywhere. Again, anti-white, anti-male bigotry is front and center on the left now--it's a bug on the right and in the center, but a feature on the progressive left. Whole academic disciplines accept and teach it.

   And, of course, way too much stuff like this has been said by the Blue Team. Way, way too much. When combined with the progressive left's totalitarian tendencies, penchant for indoctrination, etc....eh...it's a bad thing to say. It's gotten to be a little to plausible.

   But I find it hard to believe it's HRC's considered opinion.
