In a shocking interview today on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, Hillary Clinton made several outrageous claims. The depth of her ugly, totalitarian thoughts prove that she remains to this day, the angry, raised middle finger of the left.
Let's face facts: politically, she's irrelevant. Her legacy is negative space: losing to Trump. She is a banner of futility. Yet, she is unfurled on occasions when Democrats are at their hopping maddest. She rekindles the left's deepest imaginings of American betrayal. She is a venting mechanism for the party.
Example number one: Hillary claimed on Maddow that Donald Trump is a danger to America...and the world.
In a slow news cycle, such a proclamation is toothless, mere hyperbole. But a day after a former president survived a second assassination attempt, only fifty days out from an election? From a woman whose husband is also a former president?
It's ice cold. Bilious. Seething.
Why? Because Hillary can see which way the wind is blowing. The failures of the deep state and/or its minions have only made Trump seem more powerful. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" became part of the lexicon the same way "Because you'd be in jail" did in her day. Simply put, Hillary is suffering from PTSD.
Further, the hastily-applied blush on the Kamala Harris rose is beginning to fade. In an era of identity politics, she has managed to dis-identify. By code-switching from Indian to black, she has somehow become un-black, un-Indian, and un-serious. Her accent-switching antics are roughly analogous to the hot sauce Hillary claimed to carry in her purse, a la Beyonce.
"But I also think there are Americans who are, uh, engaged in, uh, this kind of propaganda, ah, and whether they should be civilly, or even in some cases, criminally charged, ah, is something that would be a better deterrence."
-- Joseph Stalin Hillary Rodham Clinton
It's remarkable how Hillary manages to make locking up Americans sound like a rational idea. Perhaps that's part of her appeal to the left: she easily rattles off fundamentally un-American ideas as if she were requesting a flavor of sherbet at an ice cream social.
She forgets that one man's "propaganda" is another's hill to die on. "Shall not be infringed" comes to mind. And if you think that 2A is an over the top example, well, that's Hillary's game too. She's quietly trying to call into question 1A, free speech.
Examples abound of what can go wrong with this kind of overzealous, unconstitutional thinking. The events of January 6, for instance, were, and are, highly subjective. Nevertheless, many nonviolent protesters were locked in solitary confinement for months as a result of a weaponized Dept. of Justice (Merrick Garland, like Hillary, is still stinging from missing out on a major role, in his case, a SCOTUS seat).
The kangaroo court "jurisprudence" epitomized by the Garland Gang's vengeful sentencing stands as an haunting and recent example of what happens when the justice served is thinly veiled malice.
Democrats love to fantasize about locking up Americans. And when they need a fix because they're blue about Trump, they trot out Hillary, the stateliest avatar of their disappointment.
