Can we go one day without a Hug A Deplorable thread? (Original Post) DemocratSinceBirth May 2017 OP
Let's replace with Smack a Deplorable with a Sock Full of Moldy Bologna thread. NightWatcher May 2017 #1

They are, in general. deluded ignorant people who have deliberately and stupidly fucked over themselves and every working person in America. Now, I know some just didn't pay attention and wanted change. Some just reacted to 40 years of Hillary hate in the media pushed by ALL MSM. However, it is their fault that they didn't pay attention and believed total lies and put in a true criminal vs. a regular politician, and they have elected a fascist traitor who paid Russia to steal the election for his own personal profit.

Dems don't need to change their message, except to be even more worker friendly and to push that message every single day. Dems need to be putting up bills that will make things better, even if they go nowhere in this "all hate for middle class - poor" all the time atmosphere. Dems need to put up ads against trumpcare and they need to call it trumpcare and they need to run ads against removing Ot protections and do it now before the Senate votes. I would donate as much as I could (not a whole lot) and I'm sure others would too to get this important message out.

Can we go a day without a "fuck anyone who ever spoke bad of Hillary" thread too ? Nah - only one half of the party is allowed to speak here.

Self oriented, Ignorant, assholes that double down on awful because they hate "librul's", brown people, women and everybody from the LGBTQ community. They are not sorry for their vote, they are just sorry they aren't going to get the free goodies bag Republicans promised them at the door. Ironic, isn't it? After so much hate directed toward us for wanting freebies. They are what they are, Terrorists American Style. Holding our Democracy hostage with a Fox News fueled temper tantrum.


The 96% of Republicans still backing Trump and this congress? They are beyond "deplorable" that are inhuman pieces of scum that care hide no hair for reality or anything that doesn't concern them directly. Which at this point can only be classified as directed indifference to the plight of anybody not wealthy enough, not white enough, not straight enough and not healthy enough.

I've had enough of this junk from the Republican, Russian trolls on here feigning concern and from whatever "Democrats" that are defending their people that voted for Trump. Some of my elders are crying, CRYING, real tears. Tears coming from their souls that everything they fought for is going to be taken away. Not for themselves but for future generations that are going to have to refight their battles. 50 years of pseudo equality, one black president and here we are with America looking down the barrel of a gun they pointed at our collected heads.


Hate Terrorists is all they are, all of them.

orange horror, but especially from women who voted for that bloated orange thing. I will never, ever forgive nor will I ever try to "understand" any of them. By their vote they showed me that they are despicable people who are willing to hurt others, just like the "good Germans" who would never join the Nazi Party, but looked the other way when they started persecuting and murdering others. Why should I welcome them in any way, shape, or form? I've cut 2 people loose that I've known since I was 13 years old for voting for that thing, and I will never look back. I don't give a rat's ass if they end up regretting their vote or not. Fuck 'em. They own him and everything that goes along with him.

If they see the error of their ways and make penance I would welcome them back to the community of decent people. As Jesus said "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

THEY were personally damaged in some way and not that his policies are just plain wrong. I'll opt to ignore them instead of expressing open contempt. That's about the best I can do at this point.
