"Hillary is the Devil!"

I've been having a hard time understanding why the rabid right thinks Hillary is as bad as, or even worse than, tRump, calling her outlandish names,like "The Devil". It seems bizarre to me. But this morning, on NPR's "Weekend Edition" , a woman writer from Provo, Utah explained it: they've hated her since they first started hearing about her in the late 70's because she's A FEMINIST!!!, explicitly preferring to continue her legal career to "staying home and baking cookies".

Apparently that's worse than "coveting thy neighbor's wife", which is explicitly called out in the "Ten Commandments" and which tRump has bragged about. Never mind that many, many rabid right women are now reaping the rewards of feminism by holding down well-paying jobs they never would have been allowed to hold before the feminist revolution. Being allowed to obtain mortgages to buy a house in their own name. Participating in college sports.

I wonder how many of them ever thought this out. Seeking equality for your gender is a worse crime than the tRump's filth? Disparagement of the handicapped? Putting down of our military and veterans? But at least now I know. Can't say that enlightenment has brought respect, though.

These people don't think.
