‘Lock Her Up!’: A U.S. election runs on the fuel of hatred for the adversary
CLEVELAND — A street vendor outside the Republican convention needs barely a nanosecond to reply when asked to identify his top-selling T-shirt.
Joe Nester motions to the red, white, blue one atop his stand that reads: “Hillary For Prison.”
Among the buttons, one of his two hottest sellers is: “Life’s a bitch. Don’t vote for one.”
A few metres away, at this very moment, two men are discussing Hillary Clinton. One says he’s voting for Donald Trump simply to stop her: “She’s a pathological liar.” In a nearby bar, people rave at happy hour about the new anti-Clinton documentary being screened in Cleveland.
