Yes 2016 was a disaster as white people were the only demographic that didn’t majority vote for Hillary Clinton. But the seeds of hatred, which they all bought into, had started decades before in Arkansas when she was attacked for being a lawyer, intellectual, and not southern.

She was educated. She was a feminist, and she wasn’t demure like southern First Ladies were supposed to be. The attacks on educated women continue today with latest Supreme Court ruling in affirmative action.

Stop educating white women, they are saying.

And their voters agree.

The same people who hated her then hate her now. The same “with a stroke of a pen” folk who couldn’t carry Hillary’s coffee played into the Hillary hatred.

You can check their lack of support for her then and now.

The greatest harm republicans did to Hillary, starting in Arkansas, was raise two generations of white people to hate her. You can ask young folk -18-30 let’s say, about her and the white ones will hate her.

It’s disgraceful.

The most qualified turned into the most hated.

And we’re all paying the price.
No affirmative action, businesses can discriminate against lgbtqi (and Jewish, Muslim, Black folk), and no debt relief.
Interracial marriages are next.
Public schools.
Non discrimination rules businesses adhere to.

So much lost. And for what?

We talk about white people convincing their who’re parents but not enough about talking to your white kids. 17 & 18 year olds will vote in 2024 and do you know how they will vote? If they will vote?

Assuming you do is certain failure.

Like the gop realizes the long game matters.

Right now they are being fed anti Biden, anti democrats.

You’ve got to get to them now because the gop are already in their ears.

To be clear I’m talking about white kids.

The nation cannot afford another generation of white people who do not vote majority for democrats. End

I lived in LR when this was going on. They harassed her for ages. She changed her last name because if she didn’t? Bill would have lost for Democrats in Arkansas. What they put her through was horrific.
