With the end of the election cycle and the winner Donald Trump in the spotlight, many on Facebook and other web spaces are having the biggest hissy-fit and crying over the election. The Cult of Hillary Clinton has been cut down.
Many musings of the elitists are now on the defense. The fact that they are labeling the people of America who they STILL DON’T understand. Reason.com writer Brendan O’Neill, has some thoughts:
These “loud, illiterate and credulous people,” as a sap at Salon brands them, think on an “emotional level.”
Bill Moyers warned that ours is a “dark age of unreason,” in which “low information” folks are lining up behind “The Trump Emotion Machine.”
Andrew Sullivan said Trump supporters relate to him as a “cult leader fused with the idea of the nation.”
We are giggling at these people here at FreedomStump. Maybe, you are too.
..the celebs and activists and hacks who were so devoted to getting her elected and who have spent the past week sobbing and moaning over her loss. These people exhibit cult-like behavior far more than any Trump cheerer I’ve come across.
As Thomas Frank says, the insistence that Hillary was scandal-free had a blasphemy-deflecting feel to it. The message was that “Hillary was virtually without flaws… a peerless leader clad in saintly white… a caring benefactor of women and children.” Mother Teresa in a pantsuit, basically.
These are people that are living in a DREAM WORLD still. But, at least for one writer, he says it best:
It’s all incredibly revealing. What it points to is a mainstream, Democratic left that is so bereft of ideas and so disconnected from everyday people that it ends up pursuing an utterly substance-free politics of emotion and feeling and doesn’t even realize it’s doing it.
Here’s an interesting quote from a reader:

Given the amount of projection concerning mindless True Believers worshipping at the altar of a fatally flawed Messiah, how incredible it was that anybody could be so blind and brain-washed they couldn’t see how much of a fraud and a crook and a liar their candidate was, I have to wonder about all of the hyperventilating about Trump being the one intent on triggering a nuclear war.
