Another expedition into the fever swamps of Free Republic and similar sites.

In honor of Trumad:

Findings:

1) They are enraged that a person whom Republicans hate would run for the Democratic nomination. They think the fact that Republicans hate the person should disqualify a candidate. Thread title "The insult of a Hillary Clinton candidacy." Excerpts here.


2) Somewhat oddly, they're celebrating a Michael Moore prediction, that Donald Trump will defeat Hillary Clinton. They claim that Clinton stole the Democratic nomination and the only way Trump can lose is if she steals the general election too.

3) they're claiming that it's a sign of fascism that people seek to break the glass ceiling for women, LGBT Americans and people of color in corporate America

4) They're hoping **Bernie** delegates start chanting "Lock her up!" at the **Democratic nomination**. WTF--how stupid and delusional are these fuckers?

5) They think Trump flying in on a plane was a Bush-style codpiece moment--"very much a display of power and wealth. I think he won today."

6) Eagerly citing RNC figures and Andrew Napolitano to pimp Clinton foundation conspiracy theories.

7) They all got practically sexually aroused by Chris Christie's lock her up chants. They think it's awesome.

Thank god we have a place like DU where such misguided, warped people and their toxic discourse are not welcome.

hiding the fact that they're openly conservative and regressive.
