@glitterbag,
I'm no fan of political correctitude from any source. We live in an age which has discarded religion and all the episodic intolerance that went with it, and replaced it with a sappy secular doctrine that is even more demanding and intolerantly enforced than what we discarded, and with very few of its virtues.
I expressed no joy, bridled or not, about Hillary's remarks - instead only bemused irony over the hypocrisy of it all, together with a prediction that the reaction from the growing segment of the country that readily sees through that ****, and has become a bit fed up with it, will cause her to roll it back. I accurately noted Revelette's hypocrisy just as I accurately noted Clinton's. I believe that judgment was reasonable and justified.
You simply don't know my views on Trump (and shouldn't assume you do). Moreover his behavior was not the subject of the discussion. I believe there's plenty to fault there , but at the same time I am saddened by the very odd combination of obliviousness to and rationalizations of Clinton's crimes and abuse of power among her supporters coupled, as it is, with extreme sensitivity to Trump's frequent, sometimes overstated, populist appeals on policy matters. (By the way Hillary does the same in her appeals to her "base" - you and the press just don't note it.).
The behaviour of contemporary Democrats reminds me of the truth in the phrase about the slaves learning to love their chains. That a shopworn socialist like Bernie Sanders could create the excitement he did from a generation that had forgotten (or never learned ) the hard-earned lessons of the 20th century, is evidence of some remaining ,dim awareness of all that.
I suspect the chief element of Trump's appeal is the contrast he presents to the prevailing group-think, and the direct challenges he makes to the condescending, self congratulating crowd of contemporary progressives who claim to have exclusive knowledge of what's good for the rest of us, while ignoring their own, abuse of power, ineptitude in action and the dismal results they have been delivering for the past seven years.
