21. "Deplorables" to the rescue!
Sat Dec 31, 2016, 11:36 AM
Dec 2016

Donald Trump is one of the most deplorable people ever in American politics (the worst is David Curtis Stephenson, charismatic Grand Dragon of the KKK in the 1920s, who has remarkable similarities to Hitler, much as the KKK has to Nazism)... and vile people like mobsters have their groupies.

Donald Trump was clever enough to get people to have an emotional stake in his political success; that stake is tied to defenses of personal egos. Do I need to tell you that he well heeded the advice of Hitler to keep his level of communication at the lowest of intellectual levels? He did that -- and he is stuck with defending some real stupidity.

He has attached himself to some incredible vulgarity. He sounds like someone who just won the Super-Duper Megabucks Lottery, a dream of many people who have no other way to get rich. Thus the gold toilet... Most of his supporters are neither educated nor entrepreneurial, and one must be one or the other to escape the misery of life for unskilled workers or people with machine-paced work unless one wins the Super-Duper Megabucks Lottery. But those people will back him until he stabs them in the back.

The 'deplorable bucket' includes people hostile to the successful members of minority groups who have things fairly well... and because of their learning and work they are successes. But those middle-class minorities leave under-educated white people, the sorts amenable to the callow pitches of Donald Trump, behind. The Trump supporters with their "Make America Great Again" baseball caps have much to defend, no matter how indefensible such is.

They're ignoring it because they either knew about or were on on it Chasstev365 Dec 2016 #1
