2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI have a lot of problems with the term "Basket of deplorables"
A quantity of waste that toxic and large should be contained in a vessel other than a mere "basket".
Something very large, VERY tightly sealed, and immune to corrosion, bursting, etc...
A simple basket isn't going to do the job with this stuff.
We're going to need something made out of Votes, Vigilance, and Commitment.
We must consign these people and their ideologies the figurative dustbin of history they so richly deserve.
WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS.
We must make that known to all with the utmost emphasis.
And we must guard against its resurgence, whatever it takes. This is IMPORTANT.
Freedom isn't free. Its benefits carry with them responsibilities.
That is something all too many have forgotten. To use a quote of a Libertarian favorite author, Robert A Heinlein, against themselves; "TANSTAAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing As a Free Lunch."
On November 9th, the work starts to get hard. We have to do it, to be sure it's done right.

(24,764 posts)Those degenerates are more than just deplorable; they're downright depraved.
They're not even beneath making fun of small children if they're disabled; in fact, the more defenseless the person, the more those cowards bully them.
