Supporters of Hillary Clinton have been invisibilized by the corporate media through much of this election — their enthusiasm concealed from view, even as she has mounted a historic and successful presidential campaign.

The hashtag #HereIAmWithHer trended nationally and was flooded with inspiring photos and comments. Here are just a few examples:
