America couldn’t get more politically polarized…that was true about a day ago, at least I thought it was.

Hillary Clinton said that some Trump supporters fit into what she called a “Basket of Deplorables” and the left instantly rejoiced- FINALLY Clinton was telling it like it is and giving Trump and his supporters a taste of the “Non-PC” medicine that they claim the country needs so badly. Of course in doing so, they missed the point by about a mile- the point about double standards.

Clinton supporters fill every comment section and forum with calls to eliminate the foul double standards that plague her campaign. Trump is allowed to do whatever the hell he wants but Hillary will be criticized and her feet held to the fire at the drop of a hat. In general, they have a point- but that point starts to dull when these supports jump on the bandwagon of their very own double standard.

If it’s not ok for Trump to come up with nasty nicknames for liberals, to generalize whole groups of people, to push incredibly divisive rhetoric to his followers then WHY is it ok when Hillary does it?

“Well it’s ok because what she is saying is true!” Congratulations, you sound exactly like a Trump supporter now. When Trump talks about “crooked Hillary” and “PC culture” his followers cheer because they think that’s true, and for Hillary supporters to scoff at that but cheer when their own candidate does literally the exact same thing- that’s just pure blind loyalty and the inability to see anyone else’s perspective but yours. Are we trying to have a debate about where this country needs to be headed or are we just trying to steamroll those who don’t agree with us?

Dividing this country even further helps no one, we can’t make any progress when our leaders push rhetoric that keep us from being a country of one, and instead keep us a country of 50/50.
