Hillary Clinton Is An Idea | Chapo Trap House | Episode 60 CLIP

[@noidontlikeu]

I kinda miss the Cult of Hillary, no apologia for Joe Biden has this kind blood and passion

[@freakyzed8467]

Yeah, Hillary is either loved or loathed, no real middle ground. Biden is pretty meh across the board. Which is worse?

[@TheRantMaster53]

@@freakyzed8467 Joe bidens better because his mediocrity exposes the emptiness of liberalism even more

[@noidontlikeu]

@@TheRantMaster53 sure but the emptiness of liberalism is way less emotionally cathartic (in either direction) than the Cult of the Supreme Being shit that people had around Hillary, particularly because she was such an empty figure

I almost threw up my Dr Pepper at "Light Itself". Neolibs breaking the laws of physics.

[@sunglassesskeleton]

No, no, you misunderstood. "Light itself" as in Light Yagami, sociopathic protagonist of Death Note, callously sacrificing human life to further their own ends.

My mind immediately pictures Jared Leto's cringe portrayal of Joker saying "I'M AN IDEA" after every instance of calling Hillary an idea.

[@nubertuberluber]

“…there is an idea of a Hillary Clinton, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there."

The author of this piece ranks among the all-time greats, in the same pantheon as Richard Burton, Derek Jeter, and James K. Polk.

[@RoyalFusilier]

We can make fun of this (and should, often) but also note media are trying to do this with Biden. During the campaign, it's 'I don't like it any more than you, but we have no choice, we have to pick the lesser of two evils', and afterwards, it's 'he's a world-historical healer who will bring together the shattered soul of this nation as our new father'.

[@Oceanmachine27]

The media and the libs are *slobbering* over Biden. It's incredible.

[@dianelipartito6654]

"Govern me daddy" was a slogan used by people for Andrew Cuomo last year. People, for some reason, like to turn themselves into infants.

"I'm an idea. A state of mind. I execute my will according to my plan and you, working class, are not part of my plan." -Hillary Clinton or the Joker from Suicide Squad 2016?

Either this clip is sped up ever so slightly or my brain is irreparably broken and I can tell the difference in will’s voice between the beginning days of the pod and now

[@gabgames26]

I mean, to be fair, Hefferman did get at least part of what she wanted in that now anything related to Hillary is just a straight up hagiography. So she got that.

[@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816]

clinton-types all speak in that aggravating, preschool teacher voice, like they're trying to soothe the tantrum of your anger at the systemic injustice of it all. "i hear your anger and i want you to know i sympathize and empathize and share your pain, but we simply can't raise wages right now. it simply is not prudent, honey. But I'm very glad we had this dialogue and I'd like you to write your thoughts and feelings about this in a journal so we can discuss it in the future. "

[@alexandriac6641]

What isn't cringe in your mind?

[@wyndgrove9452]

I'm ambivalent about a lot of what Chapo come out with, but that Billy Joel line was on point.

[@DJblastyfone]

It's actually embarrassing to make fun of elected officials, the only cool and correct form of comedy is when elected officials make fun of their constituents. Collectively voters have more total power than a single politician, so making fun of them is technically a form of punching down and it's not a good look

[@jzenhenko]

damn imagine how butthurt you're gonna be when they make fun of her imminent death

[@DJblastyfone]

​@@jzenhenko When they make fun of her imminent death she will be probably be very physically weak relative to them, making it the worst form of punching down. When they continue to make fun of her *after* her death and she has become a ghost or maybe a dracula, the power dynamic goes back in her favour so it's actually okay to make fun of her then
