Proudly American, Fiercely Independent

Hillary Clinton did a 180-degree flip this week

Seven years after she called her political opponents “deplorables,” Hillary Clinton has just penned a new magazine article claiming that she wants to offer solutions to help them live longer, happier lives.

After spending her entire political career trying to destroy anti-Clinton voters and warning they present a “threat to democracy,” the angriest Clinton claims she’s worried about their well-being.

Clinton wrote a 3,500-word article in The Atlantic titled “The Weaponization of Loneliness,” supposedly about ways to help abandoned working-class Americans dying “deaths of despair.” (You can read the full article, which is behind a paywall, here for free.)

What she wrote is true, up to a point: More people say they are lonely and friendless than any time in U.S. history. “From 2003 to 2020, the average time that young people spent in person with friends declined by nearly 70 percent,” Hillary wrote accurately.

That’s where the truth ends and the Hillary 2024 campaign pitch begins.

She rages against “ultra-right-wing billionaires, propagandists, and provocateurs,” “demagogues and hate-mongers,” “extremists at the margins of American politics” The man who beat her in 2016, President Donald Trump, is “a would-be strongman.”

“If she doesn’t use her infamous word from 2016, ‘deplorables,’ to describe her opponents, that’s clearly what she still thinks about them,” writes columnist Rich Lowry.

But how does Hillary describe her supporters? They’re just like the “pioneers who stuck together in wagon trains, farmers who pitched in on barn raisings and quilting bees, immigrants who joined volunteer fire departments, enslaved people who risked their lives to serve on the Underground Railroad and help others escape to freedom.”

That made Lowry’s stomach turn. “Hillary may not be lonely, but she’s a case study in the myopic self-righteousness of the left that is unjustified, high-handed and off-putting,” he wrote.

She comes close to actually using the term deplorables. “Too often, when Americans face boarded-up storefronts, empty pews, and crumbling schools, it’s despair, loneliness, and resentment that fill the void,” writes Hillary.

That sounds just like Barack Obama, who said in 2008 (just before he beat Hillary in the Democratic primaries) that “a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…and it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Then she makes clear that, as far as she’s concerned, the biggest victim is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“During the 2016 campaign, a shocking number of people became convinced that I am a murderer, a terrorist sympathizer,” writes Hillary, who has been tied to a stunning number of people who died or committed “suicide,” including pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

One of the “conspiracies” she remembers simply came down to complaining about a group of Kentucky taxpayers upset she wanted to raise taxes to pay for her failed Hillarycare socialized medicine plan.

“In 1996, I published It Takes a Village”—a book that says parents aren’t competent enough to raise their own children—because she was “concerned about the rise of right-wing…media personalities like Rush Limbaugh who were sowing division and alienation.”

“We are still stronger together,” she wrote, a reference to her failed 2016 campaign’s slogan.

Then she condemns “malign foreign interference in our elections.” That’s right, “Hillary still can’t let go of the totally debunked ‘Russian collusion’ crap,” wrote Stephen Green at PJMedia.com.

Her bright idea to bring Americans together is class warfare. Liberal politicians will concentrate on “raising taxes on the wealthiest individuals and corporations,” while she sees “unions doing more to bring us together.” And she wants to force people to spend more time together by building more public transportation…and taxing gasoline until people can’t afford cars.

But she’s not interested in having her voters piled on top of each other. Contradicting herself, she says she wants to give “poor families in public housing vouchers to move” out of highly populated projects “to safer, middle-income neighborhoods,” into Republican-leaning areas.

For Hillary, being healthy means being a Democrat.

“In her disgraceful piece in the Atlantic, Hillary Clinton turned (loneliness and isolation) into boring partisan footballs while pretending to reject ‘us versus them’ dichotomies,’” said National Review writer Charles C.W. Cooke. “For shame.”

Hypocritical—and liberal policies aren’t the solution, conservatives say.

“Woman who supported lockdowns worries that Americans are too lonely,” said Fox News host Laura Ingraham. Hillary even seemed to allude to that issue, warning that the new political arrangement “undercut the old ‘we’re all in this together’ ethos,” quoting the elite lie repeated over-and-over during the 2020 lockdowns  (which several prominent politicians ignored).

Even Hillary can’t ignore the reality, though, admitting, “The pandemic turbocharged our isolation.”

Hillary’s commentary led to a few, uncharacteristically insightful comments about why America is really breaking apart.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said that, first, “places of worship are emptying out, then what you have is a values system that most Americans used to be a faith in something bigger than ourselves being replaced by staring at a telephone.”

His guest, Al Sharpton, agreed that modern technology had produced a generation that is “anchored in nothing.”

But Hillary wants deplorables to adopt her policies—and apologize for ever rejecting her.

“It’s no wonder that if Hillary’s ‘village’ is the community on offer, millions of rational, well-adjusted, happy Americans want nothing to do with it,” said Lowry.

“The Department of Loneliness will be massive, for sure, and if it does for loneliness what the departments of Education or Energy have done for education and energy,” added Green, “we’ll all die of it.”
