Following up on yesterday’s post about Hillary Clinton’s apparent certainty that some Americans disagree with her only because they hate progress and want the world to be bad, the obvious question is whether or not this rhetorical choice actually constitutes “losing the plot” — whether people like Clinton are confused and lost — versus the possibility that they know they’re telling a fake story and doing it with the intent to manipulate. My proposed answer is that it’s both: They’re plotting and scheming, trying to shape the possible discourse and frame the available social choices, and they’re lost in a bubble world of their own invention.
Not a new thing, although I think that a lot of people are finally noticing. Remember that the hated decision in the "Citizens United" case was that no, Hilary Clinton did *not* get to suppress a movie critical of her before an election.
