ZK, i was talking to a liberal friend who said we need to consider the reasons the deplorables voted for Trump. His parents are deplorables.
My reaction was “are you kidding me, that will just enable them”.
Enabling the deplorables is not the solution; and being diplomatic while they spew out vile shit is worse. We need to treat the deplorable like we treated the Societ Union with cultural and economic superiority. Let them fall behind and suffer under Trump and eventually they will come crawling.[/quote]
Not sure how I feel about your plan, but I disagree that they’ll ever “come crawling.” The right-wing noise machine will have them convinced either that they’re doing great because of trump and the republicans in congress (even as they’re drowning) or that it’s all liberals’ fault that they’re drowning.
The last 30 years of right-wing propaganda has their heads so full of bs and rabid, insane hatred of liberals that they’d die before they’d come crawling to liberals. I mean that quite literally.
