    It goes back to the 90s with her. They (republicans if practically every strip) hated that she would have the audacity to be anything other than a dinner host while First Lady. She is a massively polarizing figure and, literally, polls worse among center (by US standards) and right voters than “nobody”.

      So basically typical GOP / chucklefuck misogyny.

      Fuck those people with rusty axes.

      I think Hillary would’ve made a good president. Ok she’s a real backroom political mover and possibly more of a hawk than I’d like but nevertheless.

        typical GOP / chucklefuck misogyny Yes, but sooooo much more. They don’t just hate her for being a woman, they hate her for being a successful woman who overtly mocks them (not the deplorables comment - it’s the way she outmaneuvered them and pointed out their genuine policy errors in the past 2.5 decades of her political life). If she had been male they would hate her with the fire of a thousand suns. That she is a woman just makes them go apoplectic on top.

        TBH, she’s much closer to my (moderate) political ideology than those (here on Lemmy) who favor a far more liberal leader and I agree she would have made a good president.
