We're talking about people who buy into every misleading Meme about Hillary and then pass it on to their headline only reading friends.

My Millennial hipster son flipped to Hillary and his friends now treat him like he's a traitor on Facebook and recently at a couple festivals he had to work. Mad Sanders supporters walk right up to him and say something snarky, rude, nasty. What funny is they pride themselves on tolerance, love, art.

He posted a video Ezra Klein did about Hillary's life and accomplishments. I was going to post a link for you, but it looks like he took it down because he get's so much grief for daring to support her.
