Post Election Moralism

Hillary Clinton was probably the worst candidate for el presidente in my lifetime. She had all the baggage from their time in the whitehouse and baggage from all the Clinton's shady dealings prior to their time in Washington. She was probably the only candidate for president that could lose to Trump.

In spite of that, her supporters can't fathom how she lost. Russian medddling, nazi countrymen, etc... are the only possible explanations--not her support for the Iraq war, similarity to Bush/Romney, or shady associates.

Much of the ire is from declining corporate media, which stands to lose a lot of money in the next few election cycles as TV advertising becomes less important. Corporate media faces a long period of decline and restructuring on par with what American manufacturing endured as corporate heads and politicians sold out american citizens for 30 pieces of silver. Unlike the american blue collar workforce, corporate media people can scream into cameras and microphones as the darkness closes in.

In the face of that pressure, they've turned moralist and accuse their nebulous political opposition of various sins, which is weird. The nihilists and degenerates claim an imagined moral high ground. I think this type of tantrum can only last 1-2 years until the dopamine receptors of the "resist!" crowd start to get clogged up.
