Hillary Clinton wants to deprogram MAGA?

[RocksInMyHead]

So we shouldn’t care what anyone says unless they are in a position of power?

We certainly shouldn't pretend that there's any chance of a person's opinions becoming policy if they aren't in a position of power. Until someone with power voices a similar opinion, Clinton's words hold no more weight than yours or mine. I certainly wouldn't pay too much mind if you said you thought that all Biden supporters needed deprogramming. I'd disagree, and move on.

You might but a lot of other people wouldn’t

Really? You think we'd see articles comparing the situation to Maoist China and people asking if the government would put people in camps? Just because little old you had an opinion?

I see several people making posts to shut down certain viewpoints on the forums. And as you just pointed out people pay a lot more attention to Hillary than to the average person

She's actually projecting her own needs. She still claims her election that she lost to Trump was "stolen", almost 8 years later.

So what? The other person you mention also claimed his election was stolen. The difference is that that particular person took his accusations to courts all over the country and lost every case except one. Why complain about one person while ignoring the other?

Isn’t that exactly what your post just did?

How many lawsuits did Mrs Clinton lose in court over the election stolen from her?

Clinton conceded. Has the other guy? no?

I started to respond to this but realized it would be off topic Other than to say that Clinton is still making that claim

Not off topic at all. As a matter of fact, many individuals who identify as MAGA also believe the election was stolen away from trump....hence the need for deprogramming.

You’re correct that we should focus on the topic, Hillary Clinton and how she feels that people who disagree with her should be reprogrammed

But you and I know that is not what she said nor what she meant. This whole faux outrage is silly.

Is it? Nothing triggers faster than a mention of Hillary Clinton.

The moderators have issued a warning about taking threads off topic so I’m not going down that road

Indeed. We need to concentrate less on Clinton whataboutism and direct our efforts towards helping with 'cult deprogramming' as Mrs Clinton put it.

"Because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen."

How is talking about Clinton whataboutism in a thread about Clinton? Your post was a what about the other guy. And here you are agreeing with her when everyone has been arguing that she wasn’t being literal

Yeah, she is more of a trigger than Obama...sorta like Obama and Jane Fonda shmooshed together!

But you're pretending that "cult members" are nothing other than "people who disagree with her". Do you consider anyone who disagrees with you a cult member? Do you think that cult members among the MAGA exist?

She said half of all Trump supporters were a basket of deplorables so I assume she is talking about 50% of the people who voted for Trump.
This is not about what I think about people who disagree with me or what I think the definition of a cult is.
I think we can agree that MAGA extremists disagree with Hillary and she said they should be deprogrammed

You tell me? It was you who thought discussing Mrs. Clinton in a thread about her would be off topic. I asked if she took her election loss to the courts. Apparently you used moderation as an excuse to not answer.

I agree with the way she has triggered the right into thinking mass graves are next....

We know she didn’t fight her election loss in court. I thought that was rhetorical. It’s talking about her opponent that I am avoiding. I don’t need any excuses and don’t know anything about mass graves
