Diane, hi and welcome to Feelings. I'm curious--what is it that you think will happen if the people who are "making a big deal out of this" get what they want?

RE:

"Well, the people who are making a big deal out of this are going to have to face a much "bigger deal" if they get what they want. Why can't people look ahead and see the consequences?"

The ideologues and self styled idealists have a real blood lust for
for Clinton. This was discussed earlier. Idealists have a lot to lose!
When I was younger, I used to observe that the people who pretended to be the most virtuous were the ones who were the most brutal and destructive toward their friends and acquaintances. But of course they felt justified in their brutality by their narrow idealism and ideologies.

At what point does this virtuous brutality become worse than the offense of the one with the flawed character?

I too am saddened to by this display of this aspect human nature.
