Die dulci freure
Even a cursory look at what happened in 2016 should dispel the notion that DJT and HRC are "equivalent" scumbags.
The mere fact that within his own party there was a "never Trump" faction that flipped into full-bore endorsement of Agent Orange and his Nazi-sympathizing ideology, should be a tipoff. There were a lot of Democratic voters who were not happy with HRC's coronation a nominee, but there wasn't a "never Hillary" faction within the party. My own objections to her included her sense of entitlement, her history of corporate coziness and above all, the thirty years of being loaded up with intense Republican and foreign influence baggage that I feared (justifiably as it turns out) would enable the election of the most corrupt, least competent, least empathic and most self-interested nominee ever to smear the American political landscape.
The Republican "never Trump" faction had no choice but to go with the flow once Trump was elected. Disagreed on the "never Hillary" faction as shown by the Bernie fans who crossed party lines in retaliation for DNC corruption.
