I can't comment on how real or not she looked in videos as I have unplugged from the news/cable. I did want to comment on another part of your post though. I think given the insanity of words and action from the leaders of the Democrat party that is supported by large throngs of people, that it becomes easy to paint all of them as being idiots, naive etc. But I see the same thing in different ways with the Republican party. While it is true I do not feel the same level of threat from the Republican propaganda/actions as I do with the Democrat, they as a party do not have what I consider my best interests at heart. They too use much propaganda to achieve laws that are harmful to myself and those I love. And like the Democrats, they have their mobs of followers who will back the most absurd positions they take. 

I am hopeful that there will come a time when there is less of this broad painting of groups, as groups are made up of individuals. An example of this would be my dad. He was a lifelong Democrat. He was also one of the smartest men I have ever known. He refrained from voting for Democrats for decades before his passing, yet considered himself one despite that. 

To many get caught up in this side opposing that side it loses the messages that are important. If this is ever going to turn around, somehow common folk like me, yourself and yes, even some of the democrats are going to have to find a way to have dialogue. As long as the leaders of the parties are dictating what we are to think, there will never be this common ground between us. The right will always be those Faux news idiots, and the left will always be those crazy idiots incapable of independent thought. 

I have said for many years now the reason I can't vote Democrat is because as a party they declared war on me for being white and male. Insist someone is your enemy and many will take you at your word and believe you. But I do not believe everyone who is a Democrat has declared war on me. It would be to my detriment if I ever took such an absolute. I hope you will think on this as I see no solutions possible when absolutes are being used.
