Their use of Hillary Clinton as a piñata for right wing causes of course stokes the ire of the Fox News brainwashed but it also serves to show the attitude that Caucasian men still have with women. Full disclosure, I am a Caucasian male. Hillary Clinton, First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, author, was probably the most prepared candidate to win the Oval Office in the history of this country. That's not to say that she would have been the greatest president but she certainly was more than ready for the challenge. Also, it would have proven to the world that the United States had finally grown up. Hillary was respected around the world by our allies. Had she been elected, none of the nonsense of the Trump years would have happened. The majority of those that died because of Covid would likely still be alive. But no, God forbid that a women ascend to the most powerful office in the world. What the use of Hillary as foil shows today is that the attitudes toward women has very much stayed the same. The Fox News consumer, and I include women in that demographic as well, still see women as second class citizens. Republicans with this latest twist on Hillary continue to objectify women and sadly, people still fall for it.
