Chinese State Media Calls Hong Kong Protesters ‘Basket of Deplorables’
Breitbart ^ | October 2, 2019 | John Hayward

In the course of condemning Hong Kong protesters for ruining their city and urging them to be more like their cousins in semi-autonomous Macau, China’s state-run Global Times on Tuesday borrowed a famous line from former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to denounce the Hong Kong democracy movement as a “basket of deplorables.”

Clinton infamously used the same phrase to refer to the half of the American electorate that supported the candidate who defeated her, current U.S. President Donald Trump.

The Global Times praised Macau for following a more constructive path after it was handed over to China by Portugal 20 years ago, touting improvements in Macau’s infrastructure and significant “diversification beyond the usual gambling economy.”

I really hope the the people of Hong Kong apply for citizenship/visas in other countries (like ours) because this is not going to end well.

not going to end well.....

True. They were sadly naive all along.

Chicom leaders are not compromisers or humanists. Power hungry, imperialistic and rigidly stiff about getting their own way.

First they call you deplorables.

Then they take your guns from you.

Then they shoot you.

We get it.

Wonder why she and the Dope From Hope don’t just move over to China and try to take that place over?

It's an expressive phrase that belongs in the denunciatory vocabulary of any Communist.
Much better than "running dog" or "lackey" like in Mao's time.

That word globalist is becoming more and more clear. Take out the identifiers and one can describe cheating, power mad, egotistical types and later explain it was about Pelosi,AOC or Xi--or WWII tyrants or Mao. The peasants or Deplorables end up on the bottom or in the camps. If allowed to live.

Our freedoms here were so precious to us it's a shame we let them go so quickly by being "nice guys". If the impeachment or the 2020 election end badly, we have one last chance.
