(6,960 posts)... just a couple of years ago, they are now in love with.
This is the cognitive dissonance Hillarians have to live with and why, in my estimation, why they are so angry and grumpy.
Hillarians ... as the good liberals and progressives they used to be or claimed to be before Hillary announced her candidacy were ...
against big corporate money influencing elections -- now they love big corporate money;
they used to hated Citizens United -- now it is their candidate's best friend;
they used to rail against the Iraq war -- now, well, you know that was a long time ago;
they used to want single-payer health care -- now they are against it;
they used to want Wall Street drastically reformed -- now just the ones that don't contribute to Hillary;
and on and on and on.
