Trump released a new advertisement via his Truth Social account on Saturday claiming Hillary Clinton is brainwashing voters into supporting President Joe Biden.
Regardless, the standards for a public figure are very high and often difficult to prove. Despite no longer being active in politics, she would still qualify as a public figure.
Oh she's in politics for sure. She may not be in office, but the Dem leadership and most mainstream media still hang on her every opinion.
That's not to say that any of the ridiculous conspiracy theories including this one are true, of course, so she might still have a case just by virtue of it being lies about someone who isn't de jure a politician anymore even though she de facto kinda is..
Well, according to another Trump conspiracy theory, Hillary got a million illegal immigrants to vote for her in California which is why he lost the popular vote. So somehow she was able to get a million people to illegally vote without leaving any evidence and she decided to have them all vote in safe blue California instead of within swing states.
And he lost by 2.9 million so even if you double it he still lost. He also did that 'were gonna find out about those illegal votes' and asked for voter info. Every state responded with no that's illegal and we never heard about it until he lost again. Why would I vote for someone that can't even protect my right to vote when they're president? Or a weak ass party that can't get anything done against a powerful party that can cheat and get away with it?
I love that I never hear a out Hillary at all, except for when the GOP constantly bring her up... it would be years of not knowing she exists anymore otherwise.
"Yeah, the guy I worship like a golden fucking calf, the guy who committed a BUNCH of crimes... the guy who is finally facing some kind of legal ramifications and is thus always in the headlines... In spite of ALL that, he's that douchbag that lives rent free in your head."
These are people who make their hate boners part of their platform, but they say Trump lives rent free in our heads.
She pops up with some quote or interview occasionally still. Which makes me wish she'd just drop dead already for giving these morons any more excuse to bring her up.
He wants to run against the person he beat in 2016 and not the person who beat him in 2020, the reasoning for the person in particular makes sense.
But the brainwashing thing seems a little too always-online, I don't think you're winning over any moderates who voted Trump 2016, Biden 2020, and those are the people he needs.
In 2016, Clinton got around 66M votes, to Trump's 63m. But in 2020, Biden got over 81M, while Trump got over 74M. 2020 was the highest voter turnout, by percentage, since 1900.
It may be that nobody at all changed their mind, and that the casual voters, who normally don't bother, decided to vote this time, and more chose Biden. The winning strategy is to give these more apathetic voters a reason to care about your side.
oh i know a lot of people who half heartedly voted for trump the first time as a meme. especially terminally online 18-20 year olds who had never voted or cared before. i know 6 people who voted for him as a meme then regretted it.
It's funny how the right lifted "Clinton Derangement Syndrome" and tried to apply it to every valid criticism of donnie. And even still, their derangement over both Clintons knows no bounds...of course, they also have a bad case of Obama Derangement Syndrome like you wouldn't believe.
Of course, none of their craziness over Hillary and Obama has nothing to do with their misogyny or racism...
Trump Derangement Syndrome was centrist liberals becoming obsessed with, and performatively appalled by, every single thing Trump said and did. About 11-15% of Trump voters were Obama voters and a lot of Obama voters sat out the Trump/Hillary election.
Hillary drives Trumpers more insane than anyone though, it's hilarious because they're like the only group she has these mental powers over. At least Trump has charisma and ability to perform for a crowd, it makes sense he generates the reactions he does. With Hillary it's like... there's nothing there, she's robotically trying to relate to average people, she's not funny or relatable or anything, yet she drives them insane.
MAGA: "Please Hillary, come back! You were the only democratic nominee that a MAGA-head could actually win against! We don't want to go back to the constant stream of failed governor from Florida or rich asshole senator/governor from New England!"
Are you hearing voices again Donald? You should know she hasn't spoken to you in a year. Honey you should take your meds. Yeah haha ofc "make America great again" but make your bed first. Thank you honey.
95% of the time I hear anything from or about HRC it’s because the right wingnuts are constantly talking about her.
She keeps a pretty low profile for someone with that alleged level of control.
Besides, isn’t brainwashing the repetition of simplistic ideas and negative reinforcement of questioning those ideas? Making everyone on the same team, and punishing those who don’t conform? Sounds a lot like the republicans.
