In a Basket of Deplorables

We'll see you the morning after the election.

Half of what is being attributed to Trump is false. Trump doesn't care about the conservative social agenda, he's just pretending. I don't believe he cares about gay marriage or abortion. He's a fiscal conservative who finally figured out how to play the game. He's actually a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. Exactly the candidate I've been waiting for.

Ok. But what does that have to do with what we're talking about here???

That is a matter of opinion. I happen to hold the opinion that they're as close as we can see as viable now. They have experience and success in conservative management of public funds. They're the best chance we have for a more honest and open administration. The major parties have amply demonstrated that they can't pour pee out of a boot without arguing over it. They have to hold a conference with their handlers before deciding to pour from the left side or right side---and charge the taxpayers for the conference.

To have to decide betwixt the Dems or Repubs is like having to decide whether I want to have Hepatitis C or AIDS. There's a chance I can recover from either but I'd rather have a stuffy nose, thanks very much.

Hillary seems to be in free fall. That makes me happy because I sense that Johnson is going to snag some of those votes. If he's allowed into the debates, he'll snag even more. If he creeps up in the polls to the point that he appears to have the support to get into the debates, watch for attacks. I expect he'll have his own reptilian videos if the depth of his support keeps rising.
I can respect both he and his running mate for being politicians who actually kept their word to the people who elected them and made cuts in government spending. I can respect Johnson for his honest answer to the Aleppo question and the dignity and honesty he displayed in the aftermath. I can't find that kind of respect for either of the major party candidates.

I understand Hillary's dilemma. She's watching her dream slip away. The tiny crowds. The revelations of the emails.
When your dream crumbles in front of your very eyes, there is a basic human instinct I believe, to lash out. It has been postulated that the five stages of grief are: anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. I believe we're seeing the anger stage at this point. How quickly her stages of grief at the death of her dream proceed is yet to be seen.

When the polls close, the votes are counted and she has lost, do you think she will walk to the microphone and graciously declare that the best person has won? Will she have made it to acceptance by election night?

I don't wish the woman any harm. I plead for justice for the lives cost by her decisions.

I clearly heard every word Clinton said. I also heard her supporters claiming that anyone who didn't denounce the Confederate Battlejack was racist. I watched it ripped from war memorials.

Please don't forget that along with her husband when he was Gov of Arkansas, she hosted annual rallies specifically for the Stars & Bars.

On a different note . . . We all know what Clinton has to offer & Trump is by no means a worthy candidate for the office . . . so I say vote for Pete the Cat! Pete for Prez! If you can't bring yourself to vote for the honorable Pete, then vote 3rd party. Let's legitimize the 3rd party so we never again become faced with an unpalatable binary solution.

Identifying a group as less than human then having their rich high profile true believers openly state they understand there is to be a cleansing? Genocidal maniacs spelling it out for you A B C and you still don't get it?

Trump is not identifying any US citizens for cleansing like Hillary is. You won't believe it till you too are on some list, by then your own ignorance will find you all alone.

I don't recall anything about people being labeled as less than human or anyone calling for the murderous cleansing of anyone either. You'll have to show me where that is being said and by whom, cause I missed that part.

My point however is that Hillary is calling an undefined amount of Trump followers "Deplorable". Now, while the exact percentage can obviously be debated, the fact remains that her specific labels of them as "Xenophobic, Racist, etc." are still in there to some degree be it more or less than her 50% guess.

But what I'm hearing is a bunch of crying from Trump supporters about how they aren't Racist, or Bigots or whatever. Well fine. Then you're not the supporters of Trump that she's talking about anyway, so why all the whining about being called names??? If you're not any of those specific labels that she mentioned then she's not talking about you so why are you getting so defensive in the first place???

At the same time you love it when Trump calls large groups of people Rapists, or Criminals or Terrorists whether or not some within that group qualify or not. She didn't say all Trump supporters are Deplorable. Which is hardly a word to be so damn offended by in the first place. It's not like you were all labeled as Rapists or Murderers.

You're outrage and overreaction to her comment, which may not even be at you at all, just makes you look like a bunch of drama queens with a double standard when it comes to insulting others. Trump can insult any group he wants and you guys back him 100% regardless of what it is. But someone calls out specific members of your group with accurate identifiers to differentiate them from the rest and you all lose your sh*t.

Just like the whole PC argument. You all claim to love Politically Incorrect Language when you use it against others but cry fowl when it's used against you. Well, nobody is buying it. Cry all you want and throw a fit if you think anyone cares but they don't because they all see what a joke it is. Did you all forget that you live in glass houses before you threw all those stones at everyone??? Get over it.

Seriously, enough with the pity party guys. I'm not sure who you're expecting to feel sorry for you other than yourselves. I thought you all liked Politically Incorrect Honesty and People Who Tell It Like It Is.

The name calling is a projection of ones self, and like any other bully when it comes to taking it as well as they can give it the victim card gets pulled out......

Why can't you be bothered to read the thread? I posted a high profile elite super star Hillary supporter who publicly announced his understanding using the words "who they are" and "cleanse". Hillary as their great leader identified them as deplorables ie subhumans, her disciples understand the need for their cleansing which is double speak for genocide.

Goose stepping is on the verge of breaking out with their radical ideology and they never get shamed for it in public.

Their open boldness about it all should snap thinking people out of their Hillary loving stupors, but they probably agree with the undertones of genocidal ideology being promoted because they have been conditioned to hate Trump voters at all costs.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The Cornerstone of War Is Dehumanization
“When somebody asks, ‘Why do you do it to a gook, why do you do this to people?’ your answer is, ‘So what, they’re just gooks, they’re not people. It doesn’t make any difference what you do to them; they’re not human.’ “And this thing is built into you,” Cpl. John Geymann testified almost 44 years ago at the Winter Soldier Investigation, held in Detroit, which was sponsored by Vietnam Veterans Against the War. “It’s thrust into your head from the moment you wake up in boot camp to the moment you wake up when you’re a civilian.”

The cornerstone of war is dehumanization. This was the lesson of Nam, from Operation Ranch Hand (the dumping of 18 million gallons of herbicides, including Agent Orange, on the jungles of Vietnam) to My Lai to the use of napalm to the bombing of Cambodia. And the Winter Soldier Investigation began making the dehumanization process a matter of public knowledge.

If so many "white supremacists" support Trump, why do they keep resorting to only naming Duke who never endorsed Trump and Trump disavowed anyway?

There should be a whole baskful of "supremicists" names to list.

Duke has never been given more free publicity than by crazy progressive conspiracy kooks.

You are in The Basket of Deplorables. It is your choice to be in it or not in it.

What is this kindergarten? You are an ugly cootie if you go on the swing set, it's your choice?

Hillary treats all voters like dummies, she is getting full support in that view from her side.

If people in Hillary's book are so deplorable then why does she still want their money/tax dollars? Is she only going to govern over the people she doesn't consider deplorable?

Right. The Will Smith comment.

He then went on an extended riff in which he referred to the election as a “cleansing,” and compared it to marriage counseling:

Out of that you get Genocide of Trump Supporters.

I love it. Especially the last part. Marriage Counseling. Run for your lives!!

It's time for your medication and a nap I think. I'll be sure to tell warn you when Will Smith and his band of Hillary Supporting Genocidal Cleansing Crew get here to take you and the other Trump Supporters away to the gas chambers.

LOL

It's difficult to even take you seriously sometimes.

Offended or pointing out the hypocrisy?

Oh, we can't call anyone this or that. We can't talk about this or that subject. Those things are offensive and might hurt someone's feelings ...

Unless the people doing the talking are the left and Democrat supporters, then whatever names you want to use are fine.

Look, I understand where this comes from. It's a post-modernist, relativist construction. There is no objective truth, only your truth and my truth, etc., and when that happens, everything becomes political and politicized and it becomes easy to convince yourself that your reality and your truth is the only one that matters, not anyone else's.

We also see movements getting totalitarian in their actions and behaviors because when there is no objective truth in society, only personal, individual truth or the tribal truth of a group (LGBT rights, Third Wave feminism, BLM, etc.) then there is no real way to argue with facts and logic. It then becomes about attacking and denigrating and using other means to browbeat and otherwise force your opponents to either shut up and acquiesce or accept your version of truth as the only truth, even though it has little or no real objective support.

when you support a racist platform the likes of david duke supports, how can you be upset to be lumped in with the degenerates?
its a little like booking a hotel room, defecating on the bed, and then complaining about it.
you made the choice to support a man whose main bullet points are to ban a religion, build a wall to keep latinos out and asked the nra to sort his opponent out.
defending what he said is pointless, rational people know exactly what he said, crying that what he meant to say dosent cover what he actually said.

in britain, labour's current leader has given some questionable support in the past to the ira and hamas, do i defend that, no.
can someone call me out that he has supported terrorists, yes, do i whine about it?
no.
do i support his tax the rich feed the poor policies, renationalize things the tories privatised, power to the unions, scrapping trident among other things? yes i do.

trump has flip flopped his stance abortion, just released a childcare platform that flies in the face of republican values, and still manages to forget that gays have children, so that needs a rewrite already, and has changed his tax policies three times already, people aren't supporting his policies.
but you do hear 'build the wall' and 'kill her' chanted at his rallies.
or are they just been misquoted?

you made your bed, you lie in it.

Hillary, Liberals, MSM and the Left are trying to shove white guilt down our throats and how its a bad thing to be a proud white American. Meanwhile, they keep saying how Trump and the Right are running a divisive campaign. The old saying goes: Pot meet kettle. Racism in American was low until the head of the snake Obama got into office. So if you want to talk about racism and bigotry in America lately, then look no further than Obama, Hillary, MSM, Liberals and the Left being the culprit. Another old saying is that anyone who stirs the crap pot should have to lick the spoon.

I guess people forget that the KKK came from the Democrats. Not the Republicans.

I think we need to learn what to do so that we are not "deplorable" any more.

Racist? Just support "La Raza" and BLM.
Sexist? Stop holding the door open for women. Their arms are not broken!
Homophobic? Basically, if you're straight, you're messed up.
Xenophobic? Support open borders and get rid of nationalism, embrace globalism!
Islamaphobic? Let ISIS into the US because they are only angry because they don't have jobs.

If you just follow these easy to-do steps, then you can get rid of that "deplorable" label sewed into your shirt by the leftists!
