You can just tell from the videos they put out that they (the Trumpniks*) think we're as cultish for Clinton as they are for Trump. They can't wrap their heads around the notion that Clinton may have viewed Epstein's orbit as "concentration of megarich = fundraising feeding ground" but if he was actually a "customer" we're fine with the legal equivalent of roasting him alive. We backed him once over a blatant hypocritical hit job, but that ship has sank.

*I've come to think that we need to start always associating them with the Soviets, not the Nazis. They're starting to openly embrace being Nazis, but treating them as Soviets is triggering.
