I just cannot stop perusing the news, looking for hope! Happened on a story about trolling Drumpf voters. Drumpf voters unable to tell satire from “fake news” or any kind of news. Feel the need to post angry e-mails & tweets about a satirical website pretending that Hillary had won the election and all the things she has been doing since.
It’s just over a month into Hillary Clinton’s historic presidency, and Milo Yiannopoulos works as a Starbucks barista, the Koch brothers have fled the country and the first woman to occupy the Oval Office is the sober, exacting policy wonk that millions of Americans expected.
Her approval ratings are skyrocketing, her news conferences “oppressively intelligent,”“boring” and “too sane.”
And her vanquished political opponent, Donald Trump, is on the verge of being charged with treason by the Department of Justice.
She has gotten other writers to help her write stories about what Hillary is doing, since being elected President. The Drumpf voters don’t get the joke this is a satirical website about, what would Hillary be doing now, if she had won.
Since they have found the website, even though the postings are not true life, they still feel the need to respond with angry hate e-mails. It just goes to prove how certain Drumpf voters are very disconnected from reality. They are living in their alternate universe.
The site channels the Onion’s humor, the National Enquirer’s whacked-out headlines and the Huffington Post’s progressive indignation. It’s a parody-based parallel universe whose creator intended for it to serve as a trap for Trump supporters online, with a mocking masthead that says: “President Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
In recent days ,Breitbart, Fox News, Yiannopoulos and the Daily Caller singled out the site as “fake news” and a place for liberals to seek “refuge from reality.”
It’s not fake news! It’s a satirical website pretending Hillary won the election and all the good things she is doing, as compared to what is currently going on. The creator is using Hillary’s history of good things she has done, in her lifetime, to give them unlimited ideas for story lines.
The site’s founder —a 30-year-old East Coast writer who asked spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of becoming a conservative target in real life — told The Washington Post that her conservative critics are partially correct: Hillarybeattrump is meant to serve as a refuge from reality for liberals.
But mostly, she said, it’s a chance to troll the opposition whose party actually won the presidency.
“I wanted it to be a joyful middle finger,” the site’s founder said when reached by phone. “I didn’t want to wallow or argue with people who can’t be argued with. There’s something about humor as confrontation that I instinctively thought would work — like a good right jab that I could keep using.”
Seeing everything that “the Orange Menace” is doing and his “cabinet of deplorables” is trying to do, it would be a relief to revel in what “could have been”, instead of what is currently happening.
I don’t think anyone can accuse me of misinforming the public en masse or undermining the collective intelligence of public’s political discourse by writing fake news that is so obviously satire.”
It just proves how insanely uneducated some people are, when they will believe almost anything Drumpf & the Rethugs spoon feed them continually. They are in their “alternate universe” and are unable to do any kind of critical thinking, so rely on the Rethugs to tell them what to believe.
Although fake, the stories often highlight Clinton’s actual policy positions, such as raising the federal minimum wage and guaranteeing paid maternity and paternity leave.
It is such a big comparison, as to what is actually going on, you would think these certain Drumpf voters would get the joke, but they don’t.
the site’s creator says it’s been getting about 200,000 visitors per day— enough to keep her busy deleting angry emails for a solid hour each night.
It is amazing how many people will go on the website and make their vile, hateful comments, not realizing the person running the website is playing them and they just cannot figure that out.
furious email stream gushes any time she publishes a post that identifies Clinton as president.
It’s hilarious how little it takes, to get a Drumpf supporter, to respond to something.
If hillarybeattrump.com’s audience keeps growing, through hate clicks or otherwise, the site’s founder might launch a YouTube spinoff — perhaps a nightly newscast with headlines from Clinton’s first term in office.
I have not gone on the website yet and read anything, but it sure has motivated the right and their right leaning news, to cover it.
As noted in the comments the actual website is hillarybeattrump.org thanks for pointing that out, to include in the diary itself.
