2016 Presidential election Anti-democracy Republican Party leaders including Jason Chaffetz, Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Ron Johnson, Peter King, Michael McCaul and James Sensenbrenner, and Fox News dumbass Sean Hannity openly call for a coup d'état by impeachment if Hillary Clinton is elected president © 2016 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election If Hillary wins, there will be widespread unrest, civil disobedience, badly divided government in which half the country believes she, her daughter, and her husband belong in jail. There'll be no goodwill. No honeymoon. There will be systematic inspection of all of her actions because someone who has been a crook in the past will be a crook in the future. It will be sad. I'll probably be forced to move to Costa Rica. Rober Stone, Trump adviser, promising Republican-led gridlock if Clinton becomes president © 2016 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election In a choice between two aging boomers, victory went to the older and less evolved of the two. It's as if, by electing Donald Trump, voters angrily decided, “Enough with all this ‘audacity of hope,’ let's give necrosis a try.” James Wolcott, Vanity Fair, September, 2017 © 2018 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election Our back-up strategy is to fuck her up so badly that she can't govern. Steve Bannon, Trump's campaign manager, on the Republican Party's strategy if Hillary Clinton won the election  © 2021 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election The real job killer in America is auto- mation, robotics, artificial intelligence. You're not going to lose because your neighbor's child gets a chance to go to college. You're not going to lose because a hard-working immigrant family starts a small business. That's good for you! We never made that case. And the message from Trump was a retrograde message of nostalgia: “We can go back to the way things were. You don't have to compete with a woman for a job. Or with a striving young immigrant.” It's a falsehood that gave some comfort to people and gave them permission to scapegoat others. Hillary Clinton © 2017 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election That's right – lock her up! Damn right.  And you know why we're saying that? We're saying that because, if I, a guy who knows this business, if I did a tenth – a tenth – of what she did, I would be in jail today. Michael Flynn, responding to the audience when it began chanting “Lock her up!” after he mentioned Hillary Clinton in his speech at the Republican National Convention  © 2018 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. ¶ Now some of those folks are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. … the other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they're just desperate for change. ¶ He seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead- end. Those are people we have to under- stand and empathize with as well.

Abortion I've been to countries where governments either forced women to have abortions, like they used to do in China, or forced women to bear children, like they used to do in Romania. And I can tell you, the government has no business in the decisions that women make with their families, in accordance with their faith, with medical advice. Hillary Clinton © 2016 Kwiple.com

Bullshitters say From day one I wanted a strong military. He doesn't want to see that. … He would like Hillary where she wants to have windmills. He would much rather have that, because energy prices will go up. And Russia as you know, relies very much on energy. Donald Trump, explaining why Vladimir Putin wanted Hillary Clinton and not him to be elected president © 2017 Kwiple.com

Dead-in-the-heads say When you're working for Hillary [Clinton], she wants to let people just pour in. You could have 650 million people pour in and we do nothing about it. Think of it. That's what could happen. You triple the size of our country in a week. Donald Trump © 2016 Kwiple.com
Democratic Party In the early 1970s, the party became the home of educated professionals, nonwhite voters, and the shrinking unionized working class. The more the party identified with the winners of the new economy, the easier it became for the Republican Party to pull away white workers by appealing to cultural values. Bill and Hillary Clinton spoke about equipping workers to rise into the professional class through education and training. Their assumption was that all Americans could do what they did and be like them. George Packer, The Atlantic, July/August 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com

Mob violence If she [Hillary Clinton] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people – maybe there is, I don't know.

Psychopaths say Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the “birther” controversy. I finished it — I finished it, you know what I mean. President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Donald Trump denying responsibility for starting birtherism and making false claims for five years about Obama in order to deligitimize him and and his pesidency and to stir up racist waves he hoped to surf to personally beneficial shores, while propagating a new lie his supporters are likey to believe as fervently as the old one © 2016 Kwiple.com

Republican Party The second unforgivable sin is Trump's encouragement of a foreign adversary's interference in U.S. electoral processes. Leave aside the question of whether Trump's cooperation with the Russians violated the law. He at least tacitly collaborated with a foreign intelligence operation against his country–sometimes in full public view. This started during the campaign, when he called upon the Russians to steal and release his opponent's emails, and has continued during his presidency, as he equivocates on whether foreign intervention occurred and smears intelligence professionals who stand by the facts. Meanwhile, the Republican Party has confirmed his nominees, doggedly pursued its agenda on tax reform and health care and attacked–of course–Hillary Clinton.

Taxes “It is striking that for a rich person, her tax return is very boring,” said Len Burman, director of the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank that specializes in tax issues … “She certainly could afford to pay people to help her figure out ways to avoid paying more in taxes.” Wall Street Journal, August 13-14, 2016, reporting that Bill and Hillary Clinton's tax returns for 2015 showed they paid an effective federal income tax rate of 34%, 8% higher than average for people with adjusted gross incomes of $10 million, plus a state and local tax rate of 9%, for a combined rate of 43.2% © 2016 Kwiple.com

Trumpists say If you believe Hillary Clinton is virtually as off-her-rocker-leftwing socialist as Senator Bernie Sanders, if you believe that Hillary Clinton is in part responsible for the rise of ISIS and what took care [sic] in Benghazi ... how the hell could you take any steps, passively or affirmatively, that would put that woman in the Oval Office! ... As bad as the Republican may be, how could you stay home and allow that? Mark Levin © 2019 Kwiple.com
