The "deplorables"

The "deplorables"

Believes that immigrants “steal the jobs of “real” Americans”. Check!

At the same time, forgets that the jobs that are supposedly “stolen” are those that “real” Americans do not want to do. Check!

Believes that to be a “real Americans” you need to be white. Check!

Actually forgets that the only ones who can claim that “America is their country” are Native Americans who were massacred by the thousands by white people. Check.

Also forgets that the “Founding Fathers” did not see fit to put anything about abolishing slavery in the Constitution (nor did they believe that a woman had the right to vote). Check!

And forgets that the USA is, by its own nature, a nation of immigrants. Check!

But would round up 11M people and drive them in cattle cars to the border. Check!

Believes that climate change is a hoax invented by China. Check!

Believes that the earth is 6000 years old. Check!

Believes that woman cannot decide when and how to have babies because it is said in a “book” written by Bronze age people (and by the way, probably does not know what the Bronze age is). Check!

At the same time, believes that Muslims are promoting a form of religion that is unacceptable (as if their’s was). Check!

Believes that being gay is a choice…and a very bad one that deserves that you be denied your constitutional rights on earth and sent to hell after you check out. Check!

Believes that the minimum wage (which has not risen in real adjusted $ since the 1970s) is too high. Check!

Believes that health care is a “product” that you purchase only if you can afford it. Check!

And by the same token, if you cannot afford health care, well…why don’t you die. Check!

Believes that the best remedy to poverty is charity, as long as it is tax deductible. Checks!

Believes it’s ok for students to pay 100,000s of $$ for their education while most other students in the world only pay a fraction of this amount and get better education. Check!

Believes that there are not enough guns in America. Check!

Believes that it’s OK 10,000 people die of gun violence every year as long as they can own their own guns. Check!

Believes that young black people being killed by police on a regular basis is only their damn fault (Can’t they find a job!). Check!

Believes the reducing taxes for very rich people will put money in their pocket. Check!

Does not really understand the sentence “separation of state and church” when they insist state(s) impose religious laws on people. Check!

But also complain that the US is on the verge of being ruled by Sharia law (which they do not understand the first word about). Check!

Believes that the US is the “most exceptional country on earth and in history” but does not know anything about history and could not locate Canada on a map. Check!

Believes that the US is the “most democratic country in the world” but would not be able to describe the political system of any other country on earth. Check!

And forgets that 9 un-elected judges (nominated for life) can decide on far reaching matters (like the amount of money poured into the electoral system, the right of a woman to an abortion, and whatever else these judges decide to rule on). Check!

And is OK with states reducing the access to vote to specifically targeted groups so their own agenda “wins”. Check!

Is Ok with a presidential candidate insulting Mexicans, Blacks, disabled, women, Muslims, the current POTUS, and many many many other people as long as the name of said candidate is not Hillary. Check!

Actually is OK with said candidate as long as "they can take their country back"...hint: it is not YOUR country to begin with...may be OUR country. Check!

Will vote for Donald Trump. Check!

100% deplorable without any exception. Check!

Facts over feels. Come on Brian. I know you are a Republikan. But honestly, the Trumpanzee? Here's what you have been missing. http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/hes-back-keith-olbermanns-premiere-episode-absolutely-eviscerates-demonic-messiah-donald-trump/ I'm a conservative, politically, but this guy is a Nazi wannabe.

Just finished an interesting conversation with a faculty member who teaches Psychology at our school. I asked "Do you ever discuss partisan induced blindness with your students?" Our conversation ended up on a Mark Twain quote. "First gather all the facts, then you can distort them as you please."

That was excellent Phillipe. Too bad the people who really need to understand this are either too ignorant or other wide too far gone to get all the paradoxes...it in fact even know what a paradox is.
