I Hate American Politics

Do you belong in THE BASKET OF DEPLORABLES? Hillary wants to know.

If you hate Muslims, LGBT, Latinos, black people, and women, then yes, you're deplorable. We are under no obligation to tolerate your intolerance.
So Shoes ... what hateful thing are you accusing me of now?

Just want to make sure you aren't all hot air
@questionWeaver: I'm not accusing you of anything. Sensitive aren't we.
smiling ... shoes, Hillary labeled Trump supporters and basicly anybody that was not urban ... as deplorable and she did not want our vote.

You mentioned that deplorables is the name you give to people that hate people.

Simple math tells me you and Hillary are likely referring to the same people ... I am not urban, I voted for Trump.

Was just wondering what I was being accused of this morning.

Simple curiousity.

One day we can live in the same America
@questionWeaver: She never said that all Trump voters are deplorable.

We may never be able to live in the same America because we don't agree on the same facts. One side or the other is going to feel oppressed depending on who is in charge at the moment.
@ShoesOfWandering:

Hillary said half of Trump supporters ... 90% of Trump supporters have something in common ... we are not inner urban.

So, we looked around ... and saw the reflection of ourselves in the eyes of our neighbors

So ... if my neighbor was a deplorable ... then so was I ... she effectively marginalized almost 150mm people, in those counties she referred to.

Am sure she would like those words back!

It is interesting ... we could live in the same country ... and never cross paths ... unless my existence and happiness undermines yours.

BTW, that is the definition of diversity.
@questionWeaver: If you support laws that oppress me, then yes, your existence and happiness undermines mine.

People have always disagreed on the issues, but nevertheless agreed on the fundamental processes for arriving at solutions. But you've elected a leader who does not believe in those processes.

Answer truthfully - would you support a dictator if you agreed with his policies? Or would you oppose him for being a dictator?
@ShoesOfWandering:

Trump is one cool dude ... not a dictator ... he was elected in a free election by intelligent, alert, unhurried voters ... where the voting was offered to 280mm people.

Don't hold Trump with contempt ... hold your neighbors, like me, responsible.

He is executing the office in accordance with what he said and the values / actions the voters have requested.

I like his proposed actions.
@questionWeaver: I will give Cheeto Jesus the same respect you people gave Obama.

@ShoesOfWandering: Actually I don't believe in the nonsense you believe. I am not a bigot or uneducated or ignorant. I recognize that there is an anti-human agenda at work and it is the exact opposite of every thing I hold near and dear. Your attempt to impose your ideology is simply your bigotry and prejudice and ignorance showing. I choose life and liberty while all you have to offer is slavery and death.
@hippyjoe1955: Isaiah 5:20 was talking about you.
@ShoesOfWandering:

Works for me ... I have empathy and appreciation for somebody that has a grudge and is honest about it.
