Genesis of the Deplorables

Why we are now running rampant, why Trump was elected [H/T Rossa’s mother]:

You created “us” when you attacked our freedom of speech.
You created “us” when you attacked our right to bear arms.
You created “us” when you attacked our Christian beliefs.
You created “us” when you constantly referred to us as racists.
You created “us” when you constantly called us xenophobic.
You created “us” when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.
You created “us” when you attacked our flag
You created “us” when you took God out of our schools.
You created “us” when you confused women’s rights with feminism.
You created “us” when you began to emasculate men.
You created “us” when you decided to make our children soft.
You created “us” when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.
You created “us” when you attacked our way of life.
You created “us” when you decided to let our government get out of control.
You created “us” the silent majority
You created “us” when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.
You created “us” when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors.
You created “us” when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.
You created “us” when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn’t remove your hat during our National Anthem.
You created “us” when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.

And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.
And we did it with ballots, not bullets .
With ballots, not riots.
With ballots, not looting .
With ballots, not blocking traffic.
With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of “us”

Yes, these are pretty much the things that got Trump elected. And I will never understand the reason why liberals keep doubling down on the stuff that failed before. You last paragraph illustrates the conservative way.

 

The ballot or the bullet by Malcolm X, if you haven't read it I suggest you all do.

 

Just glad I'm not a Deplorable/Loser...

 

Can't create what already existed. There's nothing new about the people of today other than the internet has put everyone into the spotlight.

 

All that proves is the right has an inbuilt "victim mentality"

 

You want to know what truly is deplorable?

When you attack and call the free press, part of the First Amendment, fake news. When you '
When you threaten to kill journalists
When you refuse to condemn the Nazis and white supremacists at Charlottesville
When you attack football players for exercising constitutional rights, mistaking it for a lack of patriotism
When you are for imprisoning kids and separating families
When you cheer on pulling out of the human rights coalition, and alienating our allies
When you refuse to do something after bloody shootings in Las Vegas and Parkland
When you support disgusting conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones, that cause families to literally fear for their lives and move

Trump's cult continues to prove Mrs. Clinton's now infamous comment true. Trump hasn't only flirted with, but shown hints of fascism through words and deeds. We got rid of Nazis in the early to mid 20th Century, and we thought they were gone for good.

 

Better than the whining, bitchin loser, temper tantrum throwing left that still can't believe She lost. And won't accept it because their sense of entitlement has been bruised.

 

1) Funny I don't remember you condemning Obama when he called out Fox news.
2) please provide support for threatening journalists lives, .more fake news. Direct quote, not something taken out of context and distorted
3) As I recall he condemned both sides because both sides were at fault.
4) Thosr overpaid under educated football players have angered most of the American people, Trump has said he would fire them and hoped the NFL owners would do the same, and Trump has a constitutional right called the first amendment and is OK too voice his opinion.
5) Obama did the seperation thing, those pictures of those kids were taken during the previous administration, where was your outrage then, or does your hypocrisy know no bounds?
6) A human rights counsel that is a joke, with members such as Saudi Arabia, China, Cuba, Qatar, Iraq, Etc. Yeah those are stellar members.
7) Obama had 8 years to do something and dd nothing even when they held majorities in both houses of Congress. Save your outrage and blame the criminals not the tool they used.
I don't ever recall him supporting Alex Jones, but he is sworn to support the Constitution and we have this pesky little thing called the First Amendment, you don't get too shut someone up because they offend or disagree with you , that is true facism. You might want too look in the mirror, and give yourself that old Nazi salute.
9) like I said, look in the mirror " das ist shizekopf" , you are trying to promote facism.

Any other other gripes " mein kleine schlampe"?

 

Ignorant choice. Tell them to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X if you’re interested in the truth.

 

Take a look at the text of the First. The press is not set on a higher plane than the people. There is nothing special about the press. Any citizen has every right to criticize the press and take them behind the woodshed.

 

The word, "deplorable," is an adjective and only an adjective.

So, the definitive question now becomes, "what kind of loser are you?"

 

Wow, what a total load of crap.

I've got to believe you could have done better, if you didn't allow emotional outbursts to rule your thinking.

 

What he meant to say was this

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...-trump-supporters-has-identified-5-key-traits

They left out delusional and irrational thought processes, and crackpot media sources like Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, etc, etc, etc.

 

Then why was there the top echelon of the FBI, an agency intended to be politically neutral, set up as an insurance policy to disenfranchise American citizens from their choice? Why has the justice system become tilted so badly one way where lives are ruined on one hand and on the other, evidence is destroyed and justice looks the other way? Why is it parents are separated from their children for this worldly life for merely being citizens by those that come here against the law and are separated only temporarily so that justice can be administered? Why is it your so called" free press " prints falsehoods, then when exposed, stands by them as if it is their right to print whatever they want?
Balto......you've got a lot of "splaining to do!

 

Beyond being prone to irrational thought processes and an affinity for crackpots like Alex Jones, this is perhaps the second most noticeable trait that has caught my attention.

1. Authoritarian Personality Syndrome

 

Most of humanity has a victim mentality but you make a valid point. It would apply to everyone else as well. Refusing to accept the consequences of what one does is a basic human weakness.

 

That is indeed hard to understand. I think of it as childish immaturity, to insist on what you want right now, regardless of the realities or consequences it would bring.
I think we have 2, 3 generations of people now where many were raised with sloppy discipline and poor role models that failed to demonstrate personal responsibility. These are things that become programmed into their kids, and they grow up physically but fail to develop adult logic and comprehension. Much, much harder to correct that once the wrong message has been programmed.

 

IF there was a victim mentality, such people would accept their fate. What you see here is a rejection of the juvenile mentality of dependence, lack of personal responsibility and general lack of character that is the essence of liberalism and socialism- of letting people who think like children grab the steering wheel and put the nation over the cliff.

There is a lack of cognizance in this movement; cognizance of the past, of realistic vision of what is ahead and of what is required to handle it safely. It reminds me of a bunch of grade school kids sitting in the back of the bus thinking up hair-brained fantasies and trying to use them to control the bus- but not at all interested in taking responsibility for the results. That is always somebody else's problem. Spoiled children who only grew up physically; thinking they are victims, thinking society has the same role as their mommy did, and ranting because mommy won't let them have everything they want.

Somehow, spanking these brats should be legalized and considered a public service.

 

Bingo!!!!

 

These aren’t emotional outburst. It’s watching a wannabe fascist attack a free press, whom our founding fathers coveted and warned one who speaks against it is an act of tyranny. That’s not emotion talking. When we forget our humanitarian obligations, a vote moral value to this nation to turning away those who seek refuge, that is deplorable. Over 2,000 have died in Puerto Rico, and Trump claims his response was fantastic. That disaster is one of the worst in over 100 years and for Trump to claim his response was fantastic is barberic. My response to the OP would have been a lot longer if it was purely out of emotion.

 

Yeah, it's totally emotionally driven BS. Even your wild scatter gun flailing here proves the point.

 

The FBI is not disenfranchising anyone. It’s simply doing its job. Flynn was bagged for lying to the FBI, we know it’s working. People on the right might not like what it’s doing, but it’s doing what it’s supposed to and upholding the law. Same for the jiustice system, Trump would be stomping all over the justice system if he could and we all know it. People who are coming here in seek of sanctuary from their war torn and shambles countries should not be turned away, nor face the threat of deportation. Our immigration law is so fractured, simply enforcing it isn’t going to solve but possibly create more problems. The press, whether you agree to it or not, is vital to this nation. Only a fascist, someone who doesn’t see the importance of a free press, would claim it an enemy of the people. .

 

You can tell yourself that, but you simply know it’s not true.
