I think she makes it clear she's only changing her tone because she is worried Trump is inflaming his base to commit violence against her. A classic case of a Republican only being empathetic when they are personally invested in the problem.
Textbook repugnantcans...110% devoted, until it impacts them.
Yeah:
Despite her vitriol having put tons of other peoples' lives or at lest livelihoods in danger, she seems to want to change when it's aimed at her.
fucking traitor (to the US).
There’s an obligation not to believe it. If the Grinch fucks up your Christmas 10 years in a row, then tells you he’s ready to turn a new leaf, you don’t respond by telling him where you put the tree this year. You instead wonder if this is the newest trick up his sleeve, trickery. When he later does a good deed, you now wonder if he’s playing the long con here. When fellows start to advocate for the Grinch having changed, you wonder if your fellows are either naïve or in on the trick. I don’t know at what point the Grinch deserves trust, but it’s probably proportional in some way to the amount of trust they proved themselves not to deserve.
Also, if you later discover that the Grinch turned a new leaf only after discovering that the police seized his computer, found support for a pedophile in chief, and plans to make it public… then you wonder if the whole thing is just Grinch trying to survive the blowout. Grinch has been very bad.
