I'm consistently amazed at just how bad Trump is. There is no rock bottom with him. So I'm also consistently bewildered by the fact that he won - and I'm convinced it was simply because he was running against a women.
It has shit to do with sexism, I know most of you came in here with raging anti SJW boners. Sad, this isn't your thread.
Rather, because Clinton is a woman, her character transgressions weren't capable of being overshadowed by a "hero" mythos, a decidedly masculine narrative.
I'm talking about optics here. Witness how despite Trump being a complete dumb Fuck, he was still presented as a strong businessman. That was the hero mythos working in his favor.
Whereas Clinton's image was shackled with a different, negative mythos, the Western Witch.
Literally any male could have ran against Clinton and won.
