Laughter with a Side of Denial is Totally the Best Medicine

What if Hillary had won in November? A satirical website, HillaryBeatTrump.org, is imagining what that would look like–providing some catharsis to Americans upset about President Trump’s actions since taking office. The site provides satirical articles about “Hillary’s America.” Headlines from the past few days include: “Clinton boldly invites press to attend White House press conference,” “Shonda Rhimes to pen Clinton’s first State of the Union address,” and “Crisis at CPAC: Priebus confesses Sweden is ‘safe,’ ‘thoroughly lovely.’”

According to the site’s founder, who spoke to the Washington Post anonymously, she’s received a lot of hate mail from Trump supporters, including threats, and has been accused of propagating fake news. But, she has no plans to shut down the site. So, if you want to take a walk through what life could be like if November had gone a little differently, check out HillaryBeatTrump.org.
