Imagine how different the United States would have been had Hillary won the presidential election, defeating Donald Trump in 2016. Her ambitions to extend Obama’s social welfare state and identity politics to a new level was clear, given her many campaign pronouncements and the public policy statements published on her campaign website.

Hillary and her supporters felt that with her victory, the achievement of a totalitarian far-left utopia was within their reach. In short, if Hillary had won, the hard-left Alinsky acolytes taking over the Democratic Party would have had the chance to eliminate from the United States all those Hillary defined as “irredeemable deplorables”—that is, people she saw as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, [and] Islamaphobic” Trump supporters.

In her postelection book, What Happened, Hillary speculated that her presidency “would have been transformative” by implementing higher minimum wages, expanding social welfare programs, and increasing government intervention into our economic and social lives by a host of new regulations imposed by an ever-expanding corps of unelected bureaucrats.
