if by right we mean today’s attempt to rewrite what really happened to the first woman to run for president as the nominee of a major party.

It wasn’t the too lazy / too uninspired / too pure to vote idiocracy or
the equally ridiculous third party voters or
a corrupt and politicized FBI that fabricated a late October surprise or
a punditry that rarely deviated from a scripted narrative that cast Hillary as the heavy or
a corporate media that prefered profits to journalism or
Rapey Julian and his merry band of alt right operatives or
our new best friends, the Russians...

It was the messaging!

The only only with their heads in the sand are the villagers in the media and a toxic faction of narcissistic spoilers who are still pretending that they weren’t ratf*cked by Roger Stone and played and pwnd by Donald Trump when they handed him the presidency.

The message was perfect, it was everyone else's fault. killbotfactory Dec 2016 #1
