I don't care if this is popular or not but Deplorables suck.

My friend in Nevada is a insulin dependent diabetic. She receives Medicaid through the expansion made possible by the Affordable Care Act. The Deplorables, i.e. the Republicans in the House are going to vote tomorrow to rescind Medicaid expansion. Without her insulin she will die but before that "nice" things like losing her limbs or eyesight will happen to her.

I'm steaming. As I said before I don't give a rat's ass if the nice Deplorable across the street gave you a jump when your battery died. They love Trump because he hates the same people they do.

that is exactly right, and it's why the shit stains will continue to vote republican no matter what...even with the repeal of ACA. It just doesn't matter. Their fucking hatred trumps everything.

President Donald Trump remains an angry, irrational figure, someone who still must stir up hatred — against the press, against immigrants, against Democrats — to enliven his base. Rhetorically, he is still the candidate of the resentful America First crowd, not the president of the entire country. His rambling, incoherent and factually deficient remarks in Harrisburg, Pa., remind us of the pathetic emptiness of the message — I'm with you because I hate the same people you do.
