Deport the Deplorables is a slogan of popular culture, found on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and internet postings. But now the mini-industry of deplorable/deportable sloganeering has made its way into more elite circles.
With just three words, the phrase “deport the deplorables” sends two popular messages: one, get rid of undesirable American citizens who voted for Donald Trump and who were properly written off in 2016 as deplorables by Hillary Clinton. And, two, by implication, don’t deport the illegal aliens who broke U.S. immigration law. Or put more succinctly, foreign nationals who crash our borders are innately superior people to citizens of the working- and middle-classes who voted for Trump.
A bipartisan disdain exists for the middle and working classes, whether periodically politically manifested as the old blue-dog Democrats, Perot voters, Reagan Democrats, Tea Party activists, or Trump supporters. On the Left, they were derided as the clingers of rural Pennsylvania whom Obama blamed for his 2008 primary loss to Hillary Clinton in that state and who never appreciated his genius: “And it’s not surprising, then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
The clingers, however, were also once the great white hope, whom 2008 presidential candidate Clinton (playing “Annie Oakley” in Obama’s words) explained were crucial to Democratic hopes: “Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me . . . . There’s a pattern emerging here . . . . These are the people you have to win if you’re a Democrat in sufficient numbers to actually win the election. Everybody knows that.”

The elitists despise those who are not dependent on them.
Kill a commie for mommy
Miscalculations of this magnitude lead to disaster on those who make them.
Get some.
They don't think highly of those that are dependent on them. They tolerate them because they need their votes.
The elitists despise those who possess both guns and the right of self defense.
Armed `deplorables’ are difficult to suppress & rule.
Let them try.
They’ll only attempt it once.
Someone should print up TWO word slogan: “Deport Democrats”- they could become a millionaire
I remember that one. How 'bout we make up our own deplorable sticker.
Simply "Deport the Anti-Deplorables".
We are already deeply in the first phase of CWII. Phase two involves bloodshed. I guess we are already in that phase two. I appears different factions and regions are in different phases of CWII. Phase 3 is the really bloody one.

.…. Here’s a border solution the Dems can get behind
I can see this all leading to a lot of cars getting keyed, broken windows, and stabbed sidewalls on tires.
My first American ancestors came here 400 years ago. And then there was my 5th great-grandfather from Scotland who married 5th great-grandmother, a Catawba Indian. Ancestors fought in the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War (both sides), WWI, WWII, and Korea. They were pioneers in Kentucky, farmers in Illinois, and Midwest coal miners and industrial workers in the last century. I know, I’m the kind of person who is responsible for all of the world’s problems, but I’m not going anywhere.
The irony that is lost on them is that if they deport the deplorables, they will run out of tax money to run ‘their’ country in about 30 days. I say cede California to them and anyone from New York State that wants to move there can get a free flight. Then build a border wall around California and let them worry about their own southern border.
The middle class is uppity.
Great article, thanks for posting it.
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life —
They’d none of ‘em be missed — they’d none of ‘em be missed
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
I’ve got ‘em on the list — I’ve got ‘em on the list;
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed — they’ll none of ‘em be missed
(Really G&S were prophets)
This recalls the penal transportations of political prisoners and petty criminals used by England and France in the 18th and 19th centuries to rid themselves of troublesome populations.
Believe me. I would love to be free from liberals one way or another.
Try it Soy Boys
I dare you.
