Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIs it not now abundantly clear that when Hillary Clinton ONLY called Trump supporters "Deplorables"
she was, in fact, exercising amazing restraint?
"Evil racist self-centered hypocrites" is how I would BEGIN to try to communicate their true nature.

(16,984 posts)We see it with Trump and his sons all the time, with Trump Sr.'s suggestion that he's been treated worse than Lincoln was (!) and Trump Jr.'s claim that the family has made "sacrifices." Bullies do this sort of thing to shape the narrative and deflect criticism.
And yes, Hillary Rodham Clinton was downright gentle in her criticism.

(6,448 posts)"White lives matter", "Blue lives matter", "ALL lives matter", and even fake Christians crying about religious discrimination.
The root of this began with people whining about Affirmative Action and believing that if women and minorities get equal pay and rights that "Whitey's" special privileges are somehow diminished. This even extends to basic healthcare.
And ever since the days of Ronnie Raygun, if white folks aren't in the precious 1%, it's the fault of people of color. Nobody takes responsibility for how they effed up their life and they also don't understand how they've been trickled on by the rich all their miserable life.
For the rest of us thinking people, the American Dream is to move to Canada.

(6,178 posts).... prison alone is to good for them. Considering 200,000 Americans have DIE on THEIR watch. The world knows they could have saved 10 of thousand of those innocent lives if they did the right thing and listen to the real experts. NOT the idiot in the WH with the self-declared "Aaah .... big brain" with "lots of good words" who only listen to the only expert on every subject "me".
This band of brainwashed evil greedy idiots and the lemming band of supports will go down in history as the worst group of deplorable traitors who will find out that all they wanted from the MAGA is their vote and they will actually get nothing in return.
Many of them will die prematurely because they won't have ANY healthcare, Social Security, and Medicare.
Because tRump, Barr, and the GOP don't give a rats ass about a single "deplorable MAGA hat wearer".
as long as they VOTE (r) and then DIE!

(2,312 posts)She said only half of Trump supporters would fit in that "basket of deplorables."
Funny how ALL of his cultists felt she was describing them.

(43,122 posts)That might have produced less controversy. 'Deplorables' made it into a class/elitist thing. Rocks they would have seem themselves and their kinsmen - and loved it.

(23,336 posts)In that sense, it showed a lapse of judgement on her part.
I hope Biden holds his temper through the election. He can rail at Trump, but be polite and tolerant to Trump's supporters. They won't respond well to insults.
I agree that "Evil racist self-centered hypocrites" is a good start, but we're not running for office.

And, yes Hillary was using incredible restraint.
