text: In the case of Hillary Clinton the hatred is completely irrational. It is the cumulative effect of twenty years of Fox News and right-wing radio vilifying her 24 hours a day seven days a week. It all started because she was perceived as uppity simply by virtue of the fact that she wanted to be a productive First Lady who didn't simply stay home and bake cookies all day. That enraged both men and women on the right for whom such a declaration was a step too far. The right found their villainess and they haven't let up on her ever since Roger Ailes took the helm of Fox in '96.
  
  Hatred of Trump, however, is completely rational based on the very real possibility that he could single-handedly bring on Armageddon, which maybe is why evangelicals like him - they're ready to be raptured and Trump's their man to make it happen. Trump's very instability would instantly tank the stock market and it would never recover from the crash he would cause. Then there are the wars. God help us all.
