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!

I am honored!

At that fundraiser of hers with the LGBT crowd, introduced by Ms. Cox, do you suppose they had Senior Tuna Tacos?

[Alas Babylon!]

It feels good, man, to be so deplorable!

[Eddie01]

Oh noze! ...more Deplorables

[MamaDearest]

Please add me to your ping list. Husband and I are both deplorable. I may have to pull a couple of steaks out of the freezer to celebrate Hillary's disgust for me, my family, my friends and almost everyone I know.

[TADSLOS]

The Hag just handed America a huge gift to use against her.

[polymuser]

The unintended consequences of the proggies are so much fun to watch unfold. They are absolutely a low IQ bunch. And karma is.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

We will need to mint our own coinage with our motto:

Deplorabus Unum

In Deplorableness we are United ... in One Basket!

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

I will be a deplorable when we have separate bathrooms and separate water fountains.

I will not sit at the back of the bus, however.

I have my limits.

[mom.mom]

She, who looks up at deplorable, must mean we the deplorables are the really cool people.

Geez, it’s getting so crowded in our basket.

[Stentor]

..."basket of deplorables"...

I can picture the gender warriors sitting around a table, lack of brain storming to come up with that winner. Doesn't sound like something Scott Adams "gorilla" would come up with. Just too effin stupid.

Hat tip to jimfree for planting the seed on this one:

We are the very model of a basket of deplorables,
We're racist, sexist, homophobic; barely are employable,
We're xenophobic in our outlook, totally fanatical,
Islamophobic since we think sharia’s incompatible.
She will claim we misconstrue her diatribe rhetorical,
‘Cause Hillary in campaign speeches tends to be hysterical.

Alt-right sites are all teeming harsh comments and a lot o’news (news... news... GOT IT!)
With many damning facts about the Clinton charity abuse.
The level of corruption there is borderline ridiculous,
Electing her would put the country in position perilous.
Still they call us racist, sexist, homophobic radicals,
We are the very model of a basket of deplorables.

The Deplorables Vs. The Deportables!!

Reminds me of a Tom Waits-ism...

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."

h/t "Fernwood Tonight"

Jerry Hubbard: "Tom, where do you hail from professionally? Is it the Big Apple as they call New York, I think? Or is it Hollywood?"
Tom Waits: "I live at the corner of Bedlam and Squalor".

Memo to Donald John Trump--do an outdoor rally and ask everyone to bring a picnic basket meal. That right there will make Hillary Clinton "eat her words" in a big way.

[Madame Dufarge]

I propose you for Secretary of the Treasury.

[DoughtyOne]

Deplorable for 65 years and counting...
