***Sadly, updated yet again.
I've had enough of people comparing Hillary and Trump; the lesser of two evils, two sides of the same coin, he's bad but she's just as bad, etc.
The truth is, they are nothing alike. One is a mature adult who has spent her life trying to make changes to better those less fortunate than herself and the other is an animated youtube comment section. So when people tell you there is not difference, tell them this:
I don't remember Hillary Clinton;
mocking a disabled reporter,
or calling a hispanic beauty queen disgustingly fat and "Ms. Housekeeping,"
or saying Mexico is sending mostly rapists and drug dealers,
or saying John McCain is not a war hero "because he was captured",
or saying a Gold Star mother was "not allowed to speak" because of her religion,
or saying that she would "bomb the shit" out of other countries,
or publicly telling anyone to "go fuck themselves",
or encouraging her supporters to "knock the crap" out of protesters,
or comparing herself to wounded veterans because she has definitely made sacrifices by building stuff,
or asking if Megyn Kelly was on her period,
or talking about how flat chested woman can not be a ten,
or writing that "laziness is a trait in blacks",
or saying that You know, it doesnt really matter what (the media) write as long as youve got a young and beautiful piece of ass,
or saying that if Chelsea weren't her daughter, maybe she would date her,
or calling a woman "disgusting" for taking a break to pump breast milk,
or insulting the looks of a female candidate,
or advocating the unconstitutional ban of people from one religion,
or peddling stupid easily disproved conspiracy theories,
or calling the Pope "disgraceful,"
or threatening to weaken the First Amendment,
or talking about the size of her genitals during a nationally televised debate,
or advocating for the disqualification of a judge based solely on his race,
or saying that we should torture enemies,
or saying she would force the military to commit war crimes,
or saying women should be punished for having abortions,
or suggesting that the US should default on it's debt,
or sending out a self congratulatory text when 49 people were murdered in a Florida nightclub,
or defending FDR's internment of thousands of Japanese Americans who had done nothing wrong,
or blaming sexual assault in the military on allowing men and women to serve together,
or praising dictators like Kim Jong Il and Vladimir Putin,
or repeatedly calling Elizabeth Warren the derogatory racial term "Pocahontas,"
or advocating the violation of the Geneva Conventions by stealing oil from Iraq,
or speculating on her one year old daughters future breasts (Trump is creepy as fuck about his daughter),
or hiring advisors who have worked for a Russian dictator,
or saying "Look at my African American over there,"
or praising Saddam Hussein,
or banning reporters who didn't write nice things about her,
or taking out a full page ad in the New York Times advocating the death penalty for 5 black teenagers who were later found innocent,
or being sued (and fined) for racial discrimination,
or being sued by people who said she stole their money with a bogus university,
or having her charity ordered shuttered for illegal activity,
or repeatedly implyingthat the first black president wasn't born here and was a Muslim,
or being individually sued over 1400 times,
or ripping off hundreds of contractors and screwing them out of their legally owed earnings,
or filing for corporate bankruptcy 4 times,
or violating federal law by giving money to Cuba during an embargo,
or wishing for a housing market crash so she could make money off of it,
or using charitable contributions to her foundation to pay for paintings of herself and a signed football helmet and pay off legal debts,
or retweeting white supremacists,
or retweeting false racist claims about crime statistics and blacks,
or retweeting unflattering pictures of Ted Cruz's wife,
or retweeting conspiracy theories that Ted Cruz's dad helped to kill JFK,
or pretending to be her own publicist and talk about the hot chicks she has banged,
or calling a political opponent a "pussy" on live television,
or calling President Barack Obama "the founder of ISIS,"
or saying that woman who are sexually harassed at work "should find another career,"
or questioning and mocking her opponents faith,
or running a modeling agency that hired illegal immigrants,
or failing to pay a group of young girls who performed at her speeches,
or encouraging 2nd Amendment supporters to stop her opponent,
or calling women "fat pigs," "ugly," "slobs," "gross," "disgusting animals," and "dogs,"
or having five children by three different men,
or bragging about having affairs,
or comparing not getting a venereal disease to fighting in Vietnam.
or boasting when you are a star you can do anything you want, kiss them, "grab 'em by the pussy."
or calling a deaf woman "retarded."
or calling Lil Jon "Uncle Tom."
These are just some of the stupid, racist, misogynistic, sexist, vile and vulgar things Donald Trump has said and done.
There is no comparison between the two. One is an unfairly maligned and distrusted woman who has made mistakes while in the public eye for 30 years and has worked hard and served admirably, the other is a narcissistic, selfish, xenophobic, sexist, 70 year old frat boy demagogue who has done nothing but enrich himself at the cost of everyone and everything around him.
