I noticed even those people tended to be mostly occupied by Obama ever since his election - I bet it has something to do with melanin. I guess Hillary running resurrected some of that, which triggers their misogyny and that does battle with their racism. Also, some of the older ones would still grumble about how Nixon and Ronnie Raygun were so “unfairly” treated by the “liberal media”. The resentment among the teabaggers about Nixon is easy to underestimate, I think. I bet most of them would have rather he just stuck it out and did not resign, no matter what.

Same thing with their view of Ronnie Raygun. They won’t listen to one iota of truth about the real Raygun and they will practically start spitting if you bring up Iran/Contra (which was worse than Watergate, and of course, Raygun’s administration was objectively the most criminal in history up to that point - I’m not sure if donnie’s admin surpassed it).

But once Obama was elected, wow, they seemed to never let up with all the dog whistles and their brain seemed to be occupied with ODS primarily.
