2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Du'ers who post on JPR, are you proud of the many discussions on JPR about Hillary's health? [View all]Locrian
(4,522 posts)I thought at first it might be another progressive site. But no... it's full of hate and conspiracy.
I have a person I work with (white young male) that is the physical representation of that site: previously Sanders all the way, then turned to hate and bile when Hillary was selected. Now he's a trump "supporter" - more accurately a "disrupter".
Not so much of a Bernie or bust but "I hate Hillary" type. Psychologically, he's a misogynist - narcissist. I think that is the root of a lot of it: as much as they claim identity politics for Hillary, they cannot STAND the thought of "losing". To them it's a direct attack on their image and they are willing to turn a blind eye to anything trump says / does since he is their only other option.
It's classic argument to protect reputation - emotionally driven but they completely believe they are the only ones using "logic".
Truly scary assholes.
