Hillary Clinton has been lying low since she lost the 2016 presidential race. She’s been hiking, dog walking, and shopping for Thanksgiving dinner near her home in Chappaqua, New York—and was even spotted poking around a bookstore in Rhode Island. It’s been odd for the world to see the woman many believed was headed to the White House acting like any other yuppie grandma over the holiday, but Clinton appears to be in the midst of a well-deserved self-care break. She was arguably the most qualified person ever to run for president, and she lost (the electoral college, anyway) to a real estate developer and former steak salesman who mocked a Gold Star family on the trail and recently settled a fraud lawsuit for $25 million. As Clinton said in her concession speech, “This is painful, and will be for a long time.”

So yes, the woman who was branded shrill and loud during the campaign (even as Bernie Sanders shouted at top volume) is finally quiet—but her critics are still talking. President-elect Trump had shown some empathy for Clinton in the aftermath of Election Day, praising her as “strong and smart” and adding that (despite calling her a “nasty woman” and threatening to jail her mere weeks earlier) he didn’t want to hurt her or Bill Clinton. But it didn’t take long for him to relapse: In his latest totally presidential Twitter rant, he baselessly alleges voter fraud was at play in the election (the election he won, mind you) and punctuated the point with #CorruptHillary.

Old habits die hard. It’s no surprise, really, because tearing down Hillary Clinton has been a national pastime since she was lambasted in the ’90s for the sins of not taking her husband’s name and not wanting to bake cookies or host teas given her Ivy League law degree and personal goals. Now, after the most monumental loss of her career, she’s still being kicked while down. In her rare postelection appearance at the Children’s Defense Fund, she was picked apart for not wearing makeup or zhoozhing her hair—never mind the man with the can o’tan complexion and comb-over we are about to inaugurate. And after the Clinton campaign announced last week it would support recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania amid allegations that Russian hackers had tampered with voting systems, a concern the FBI is looking into, Fox News columnist Gregg Jarrett slammed Clinton as squandering her “get out of jail free card”—in his view, reigniting a war with Trump after he’d so charitably backtracked on his campaign promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her emails (again). Note to Gregg Jarrett: Trump doesn’t (nor does any president) have the authority to play the Department of Justice like a puppet to launch investigations at will.

“Why would she chance angering the very individual who holds her fate in his hands?” Jarrett wrote. “As the great American philosopher Forrest Gump pointed out, an intelligent person who does stupid things is still stupid.” (Folks, you can’t make this stuff up.)

It's almost like her detractors miss having Clinton around to beat up on. (Luckily, there are plenty of new concerns: For all of those who relished dissecting the potential links between Clinton’s State Department and the Clinton Foundation, kindly turn your attention to the Trump Organization and the U.S. presidency. Seriously. Turn it.) Either that or they’re still threatened by her—losing by more than 2 million in the popular votes could have a way of doing that to you. As one Trump supporter I know mused recently, with a heavy tone of suspicion: “Hillary’s been real quiet. She’s up to something.” I sincerely hope that person is right. Though her chief critics presumably got their way, they know as well as her supporters that a 30-year public servant likely isn’t going to go quietly into the night. The best hint may be in her concession speech. “Let us not grow weary, let us not lose heart, for there are more seasons to come,” she said. “And there is more work to do.”
