The Deplorables

On September 9th, at a Democrat fundraiser in New York City, Hillary Clinton labeled half of Donald Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables" made up of "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" people. Many opinion and news commenters have called it Hillary's "47% Moment", likening her comments to Mitt Romney's comment that 47% of the population would never vote for him. They express distaste for her comments and reject her premises and conclusion.

I would like to take a different tack: I feel we should embrace her comments, and wear them with pride.

The German Kaiser Wilhem II called the British Expeditionary Force a "contemptible little army" that the Germans should "exterminate" and "walk over". Rather than being offended, the BEF instead embraced the insult, giving themselves the nickname "The Old Contemptibles". This is brilliance, and we should emulate it.

We should nickname ourselves "The Deplorables".

To answer, point by point, Hillary's specific charges:

• She accused us of being racists. Perhaps we are, since the liberal intelligensia has redefined the word "racist" to mean having any disagreement about them about absolutely any topic. Are we against the religion of Global Warming? Then we are racists. Do we want people to work instead of collect government benefits? Then we are racists. Are we pro-gun? Then we are racists. Are we advocates of Originalist interpretations of the Constitution? Then we are racists.
  

  The term "racist" has been so overused, that it no longer means what it meant even ten years ago.

• She accused us of being sexists. What is a sexist, anymore? The liberals have created 57 flavors of gender: Agender, Androgyne, Androgynous, Bigender, Cis, Cisgender, Cis Female, Cis Male, Cis Man, Cis Woman, Cisgender Female, Cisgender Male, Cisgender Man, Cisgender Woman, Female to Male, FTM, Gender Fluid, Gender Nonconforming, Gender Questioning, Gender Variant, Genderqueer, Intersex, Male to Female, MTF, Neither, Neutrois Non-binary, Other, Pangender, Trans, Trans*, Trans Female, Trans* Female ,Trans Male, Trans* Male, Trans Man, Trans* Man, Trans Person ,Trans* Person, Trans Woman, Trans* Woman, Transfeminine, Transgender, Transgender Female, Transgender Male, Transgender Man, Transgender Person, Transgender Woman, Transmasculine, Transsexual, Transsexual Female, Transsexual Male, Transsexual Man, Transsexual Person, Transsexual Woman, and Two-Spirit. Which ones are we opposed to? Are we sexist when we don't want men in women's bathrooms or showers?
  

  Liberals have so muddied the concept of gender, that 'sexist' no longer has meaning.

• She accused us of being xenophobic. Perhaps we are, if one defines xenophobia as an embrace of our country's identity and a desire to protect our borders. Globalists want to erase all national borders in order to establish a global government, better to control the masses with.
  

  Those of us who are nationalist in our political leanings, are decried as 'xenophobes'. To my mind, it is a good quality to possess.

• She accused us of being Islamophobes. It is prudent to be "phobic" of a group of people who have expressly called for our deaths and who have routinely committed acts of terror against us, and who have worked to destroy Western civilization in any way they can.
  

  Anyone with any common sense at all will naturally fear Islamics, who's radicals wish to kill us or bind us under Sharia law.

We are The Deplorables. Let us embrace the label, and wear it proudly!

WE ARE THE DEPLORABLES!

The comment that launched a million memes.

Maybe “I’m Deplorable” sung to Nat King Cole’s Unforgettable?

YOU ARE ON A ROLL!

[TADSLOS]

I’m deplorable, baby, and that’s alt-right with me!

That's a t-shirt I would buy and wear.

The "basket of deplorables" is Traitorhillary's new ad hominem to replace her 1998 rant about "the vast right-wing conspiracy."

Or perhaps it is Huma's new phrase whispered to Traitorhillary through her wireless earpiece.

Someone needs to record it post it on youtube.

Thank you Clinton for actually spelling out what I actually am. A TRUE AMERICAN. Keep talking you old hag. Desperation.

[polymuser]

Hillary’s got a basket full of deportables, dysfuntionals and dykes.

[Lazamataz]

I like the idea above, “I’m Deplorable”, recorded to Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable”. The meter is much better.

Here is what is deplorable...

Hillary Clinton deliberately doing nothing as Ambassador Chris Stevens' body was dragged through streets of Benghazi by muslim savages. There are unconfirmed reports that his body was also "quartered".....DEPLORABLE!

OH MY GOODNESS:

The Deplorables Vs. The Deportables!!

YOU SCORED ANOTHER WITTICISM!!!

[Batman11]

[polymuser]

Saturday morning enhanced coffee helps :)

[Oratam]

[Nifster]

I am as deplorable as they come

[Lazamataz]

No, let us reserve the term Deplorable for ourselves, and instead wear it with pride.

[Scooter100]

I get your ruse but, sorry, I am most definitely NOT deplorable.

[Heart of Georgia]

It seems the US now has two choices of baskets:

The Deplorables Basket

or

The Original Hillary Clinton Hand Basket to Hell

I choose the Deplorables Basket, thanks!

[Lazamataz]

I made your witticism into my new tagline. :) If you are routinely this good, I want to collaborate with you next time.. :)

[antidisestablishment]

Deplorable is the new adorable.
