This is just the saddest copium. Like, something similar for Obama would at least make sense. Regardless of politics or how one feels about his politics, major color barrier broken with him becoming president, lots of implications for the politics of race as a result. Oversimplified, but that’s kids books for you. Can’t expect a book on civics for eight year olds to be gramsci-level deep.
This doesn’t work for Hillary because she lost. There were no glass ceiling broken, she faceplanted on it twice. We don’t construct mythologies around the almost-theres, the person before the person who hit the mark. So this is trying to create the feeling of a Hillary victory that never happened.
Also one of those face plants was while trying to reinforce the glass ceiling Obama faced with her ridiculous racial smear campaign.
Fuck Obama, the more pertinent detail to understanding him is that he’s half white, as the great Dr. Finklestein said, but Hillary using racial smears is abominable
The best piece of journalism I’ve read in a while was the obituary for the campaign when they described “vilunteers unloading silver scraps from a confetti cannon that was meant to represent the shattering of the glass ceiling”
Their little metaphor didn’t work out as a result of the greatest own goal of my lifetime so they immediatly sent out the help to clean up after them.
