[quote=ucodegen]What do you expect when Democrats currently make a practice of calling Republicans “Deplorables” or “Despicable”? That is a hostile and discriminatory statement. How can you blame them for not sticking around?
Many liberals preach being open and accepting or at least tolerant of other people’s views – yet they regularly seem to consider the people on the other side of the isle as ‘deplorables’ or ‘despicable’. If someone voiced that people of a different color or race were deplorables – the liberals would be up at arms. If someone voiced that people of a different religious belief were deplorables, liberals would schedule mass demonstrations. If someone claimed that that LGBTQ (more accurately LGBTTTQQIAA ) are despicable, liberals would start mass riots. How is a different general point of view any different than a different take/belief on sexuality, or religion? Isn’t the liberal stance on so called ‘deplorable’ Republicans kind of hypocritical?

It would only be hypocritical if that were actually why liberals call deplorables deplorable. Liberals don’t call deplorables deplorable because deplorables have a different point of view from us. We don’t call all republicans deplorables. Just the deplorable ones. The racists and the misogynists and the homophobes. And also…
I, personally, think that at least 72% of republicans are deplorable. A 2018 Quinnipiac poll showed that 72% of republicans think that trump is a good role model for children. If you think that someone who constantly lies, who cheats, who never takes responsibility for his mistakes or the problems he causes, who stiffs his contractors, who cheats on all his wives, who cares about nothing and nobody but himself, who is petty, petulant, bellicose, ignorant, lazy, impulsive, delusional, amoral, unstable, and vindictive, who is a racist and a misogynist and a bully and a narcissist is a good role model for children, then I think you’re deplorable. If you think that’s the kind of person our children should look up to and emulate, then I think you’re deplorable. And that’s got nothing to do with you having “a different general point of view” from me.

Of course. People don’t have a choice what color they are. They do have a choice whether to be racist or not. They do have a choice of what kind of role model they think our children should have.

That depends. If their religious beliefs involved murder and child rape, I’m pretty sure liberals wouldn’t object to them being called deplorable. If their beliefs involved “a different general point of view,” then yes, liberals would object to them being called deplorable.

I presume you’re exaggerating for effect with the “mass riots” comment. Otherwise, you’ve been watching too much fox.
Anyway, a different sexual orientation isn’t the same as being a racist or a misogynist or thinking that a “man” like trump is a good role model for children.

A different general point of view isn’t any different from a different take/belief on sexuality (unless you start being deplorable towards those with different sexualities), or religion. But a different general point of view isn’t why liberals call deplorables deplorable.
