False equivalence?
I mean, Hilary isn't whipping people up into a racist frenzy, and there's no reason to think that she would.
Now, just for the sake of the argument, let's imagine that she did start doing that; do you have any evidence or reason to think that her supporters would be willing to oblige? Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that there'd be something self-fulfilling about any such prediction anyway, inasmuch as that only those willing to oblige would count themselves as her supporters at that point?

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that Trump supporters are morally bankrupt
Imagine if Trump called Hillary supporters deplorables and some of them were subsequently attacked. I don't doubt that many in the media would have no problem painting Trump as an instigator of violence.

Well, it's not as if she hasn't called for the death of a politican before.
Trump may be the nadir of political civility but the reduction to shitflinging has been going on for far longer than he's been campaigning and helped along by many people who call him the monster. The demonisation of Trump is as much a dead canary as his retarded ranting.

she did a great job there, right.

Oh no...
I'm not saying Clinton and Trump are equivalent at all, but that they're really the only bit of the left/right equation that AREN'T equivalent.
I definitely think Clinton is the better choice for president for obvious reasons. I just don't think her supporters are any better or worse than trumps supporters. Probably less than 1% of the people voting for either side have actually put any degree of original thought into their decision.

Clinton supporters are WAY worse
they attack people, tell them what they can say, wear and do. It's mental. They're acting like right fascists.

There are equivalent cases of people receiving similar abuse at Trump rallies.
I'm not trying to defend these Clinton supporters by the way... I don't think any of these people should have a vote on their own fucking breakfast let alone the head of state of a superpower.
