14. I recall a great deal of mocking of her warnings

By those who pledged not to vote for her. JPR was full of it. Even now we see announcements to protest her book with the caption "Hillary Clinton is worse than Trump."

Of course she wasn't the only one who warned people about Trump. There were editorials by Holocaust survivors talking about how Trump reminded them of Hitler, one in Haaretz that was particularly compelling. But Hillary was the one thing that stood between the US and fascism, and too many chose fascism instead. Whether they did so through overt hatred for non-white-men or a narcissistic refusal to think about anything but their own egos, they chose racist, sexual predation and narcissism. Trump is a president who perfectly reflects their values, their souls.
