Hillary hatred is so fascinating. I am currently working on a thread covering the topic. Electing a draft dodger and lying buffoon was a result of that hatred. I think though, it says more about the hater than Hillary as a comparison between HRC and DJT would have Hillary out in front by a mile, but over twenty five years of hate convinced the rural righties that the lies of Trump were truths. Trump is fattening his pockets as whitey screams hate from the ditches where they will remain when Trump is long gone. The quote below is from a book published in 1995, not much has changed.
"...George W. Bush took two-thirds of the white male vote against Ann Richards in the race for governor of Texas and won. Despite exceptions, the overall pattern was clear. As white men went, so went the nation, * in no small part because the white men who came out to vote were disproportionately the most splenetic. These were the men who in a cynical, spiteful time had not given up on politics. They thought they could make the proverbial difference. And they did.
The Republican tilt of white men is the most potent form of identity politics in our time: a huddling of men who resent (and exaggerate) their relative decline not only in parts of the labor market but at home, in the bedroom and the kitchen, and in the culture.
Their fear and loathing is, in part, a panic against the relative gains of women and minorities in an economy that people experience as a zero-sum game, in which the benefits accruing to one group seem to amount to subtractions from another. Talk about identity politics! These white men, claiming they deserve color-blind treatment, identify with their brethren more than their wives or sisters, or minorities. But economic jitters are only one force behind the conspicuous loathing of Bill Clinton and Democrats of all factions. Symbols are fuel.
The rage of dispossession has been at work, seething, for example, in the savage assaults on Hillary Rodham Clinton and the frenzy directed against Clinton's partial acceptance of gays in the military." p233 'The Twilight of Common Dreams: Why America Is Wracked by Culture Wars' by Todd Gitlin
