“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”

When people told me they hated Hillary Clinton or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to her, or Clinton’s fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, “I love her.” As if I had been asked about my mother or daughter.
I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don’t have to wait until she dies to act. Hillary Clinton’s name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. She deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called RODHAM. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop “On the other hand” sexist hedging around her legacy. But such is the courage of Hillary Clinton and her supporters; we reverse patriarchal orders. Maybe she is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself. The presidency is too small for her. She belongs to a much more elite class of Americans, the more-than-presidents. Neil Armstrong, Martin Luther King Jr., Alexander Fucking Hamilton.
“I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”
I wonder what the phrase “I am set free by her” means to this freak. That sounds like a quote from a serial killer film. Scrawled across a wall in blood.
When people told me they hated Kim Jong Un or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Kim. I am in awe of him. I am set free by him. He will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to him, or the Kims’ fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories. I wish I had said, flatly, “I love him.” As if I had been asked about my mother or son.
I want to reverse the usual schedule of things, then. We don’t have to wait until he dies to act. Kim Jong Un’s name belongs on ships, and airports, and tattoos. He deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called JUCHE. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop “On the other hand” imperialist hedging around his legacy. But such is the courage of Kim Jong Un and his supporters; we reverse capitalist orders. Maybe he is more than a president. Maybe he is an idea, a world-historical hero, light itself. The presidency is too small for him. He belongs to a much more elite class of Koreans, the more-than-presidents. King Taejo, Yi Do, Kim Jong fucking Sung.
you know what would be even funnier
if she lost to biden - the only candidate with a proven track record of defeating fascism on the polls
its only fascism if it comes from the villages area of florida, otherwise its just powdered cheetoism
That’s a nice idea but the federal government will utterly crush them. The feds are incredibly well-armed and have all our communications tapped. Such an insurrection would be stopped as soon as it started, with all the governors arrested or drone striked.
with all the governors arrested or drone striked.
As if that wouldn’t cause even more tension? That would be a complete undoing of our state vs federal system, basically a constitutional crisis.
But before that, how much of the military do you really think is going to be loyal to Hillary Clinton? It would be a proper civil war, not a quickly crushed insurrection.
