If you want to be on this right wing, monarchy, paleolibertarianism and nationalism ping list, but are not, please let me know. If you are on it and want to be off, also let me know. This ping list is not used for Catholic-Protestant debates; all confessions are welcome.
If you go to E-bay and look for “deplorables t-shirt” you will be amazed how fast the free market can work.
What’s wrong with rednecks?
Nailed it!! We’re mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. Life imitates art.
Here’s video of Trump walking out in Miami to “Do You Hear the People Sing” from Les Mis:

Keep an eye out for “do you hear the people sing” from Les Miserables.
It might go viral and trend to the top. I would like to see it. Two genius strokes by Trump. Hillary is curled up in a little ball weeping.
Just his sheer positive guile and cunning — Trump deserves to be President.
I have a linguistic observation.
Ordinarily, “deplorable” is used as an adjective and attaches to inanimate objects. For example, “the living conditions in the camp were deplorable”.
We can use the word to describe opinions: “his views on freedom of speech are deplorable”. That I because the verb “deplore” does not take human beings as objects.
This is as far as it goes. Hillary (1) turned the adjective into noun and (2) applied it to people rather than things. That strikes me as contrary to the ordinary usage. Had she said something like “Trump supporters hold deplorable views”, no one would bat an eyelash. Even “Trump supporters are deplorable” would be a stretch of the word usage, but still within the norms of speech, especially oral speech. However, the phrase “Trump supporters are deplorables” (or even “belong to the group of deplorables”) violates the norms of the English language, does it not? Each time such construct is used there is a convention of the meaning of such usage. For example, “The untouchables cannot board the train” makes linguistic sense in India where the caste system supports this usage, but not elsewhere. This grammatical construct cannot be used randomly. You cannot have a sign “This amusement park ride is not for overweights” even though the meaning would be quite clear.
So, what am I getting at?
I bet you among the members of the bureaucratic ruling class there is an expression like this. In their linguistic subculture Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” is not awkward grammar: it is in the same semantic array as “bus of coloreds” or “neighborhood of untouchables”. They probably find phrasing like “A deplorable walked in so I pretended I was on the phone” or “She nearly married a deplorable”.
Learn the enemy’s language, folks.
