Yes, indeed, its a revolutionary situation. Its peaceful and democratic, to be sure, but, nonetheless, its a revolution. Embracing this thrilling new spiritof the sort never seen, for example, during the McCain or Romney campaignsTrump opened his speech by nodding to the audience and quipping, Welcome, all of you deplorables.
And while it might be a cliche to write, the crowd went wild, thats exactly what happened. Without a doubt, Trumps use of deplorables as a play on the musical Les Misérablesthe source of the lyrics above and belowis a first in US politics.
A few other portals covered the deplorables angle. The Drudge Report played it big: Miami Trump frenzy. And heres how Mediaite put it: Les Deplorables: Trump Took the Stage in Miami in the Most Over-the-Top Way Possible. And Business Insider: Trump walks onstage to theme of Les Miserables, greets deplorables at his Miami rally. Fox News was on it, too. As reporter Garrett Tenney said on Saturday morning, The deplorable label has become a badge of honor for Trump supporters.
Yet for the most part, the Main Stream Media studiously ignored the Miami event and all its heavy symbolism. Instead, the MSM had its own agenda, which we can sum up in two words: Destroy Trump.
To that end, The New York Times used the word lie twice on its front page. One news story was headlined, Trump Clung to Birther Lie for Years, and Still Isnt Apologetic. And an accompanying editorial was headlined, Donald Trumps Latest Birther Lie.
For its part, The Washington Post was only marginally more fair and balanced; the word lie did not appear on its front page. Instead, the key word was false, as in, Trump admits Obama was born in US, falsely blames Clinton for rumors.

So what?
History doesn’t have to repeat or even rhyme. It just has to scan.
Oppressed masses this time are the formerly ascendant. So maybe it’s a reclamation instead of a revolution? No matter: a diverse majority is turning against the establishment. Good enough for a start.
One of my favorites, can’t believe I didn’t think of that one.
First...replace the propagandist!
Trump may not be able to do all he wants—BUT even if he does only a few it will be a help! If he does 50% of his list—and the nation recovers-—they will carve his face on mountains.
I vote for beklagenswert, i.e. worthy of regret:
es ist sehr zu beklagen, dass
it is most deplorable (od regrettable) that
, it is much to be regretted (od deplored) that
unselig [geh.] [beklagenswert]
deplorable {adj}
Well these are adjectives. I guess I will have to find a noun.
GOP RIP
GOPe RIP
MSM
elites
Thank you, Hillary - you have finally done something positive for the USA - You have provided a name/meme where patriots can coalesce.
Now, GO!, your moment is over!
Democrats are like the French Bourbons.
Who were tossed out in the July Revolution of 1830.
Whoever wins has an near impossible, perhaps purely impossible job cut out for him/her. I really have my doubts that anyone can turn the economic trainwreck around.
But at least Trump seems willing to try something different. Clinton, not so much. It’ll be more of the same.
Trump may fail but Clinton’s status quo approach will definitely fail. And remember, we have to get Congress to do things differently as well.
These Leftist rags accused Trump of lying while trying to push Hillary’s corpse over the finish line .Hillary, the Biggest Liar in U.S. History. No wonder Trump’s army detests the Democrat media and celebrates every attack against him that fails so miserably.
“Weve already been called everything .....
You left out “Bitter Clingers””
Or Bitter ENDERS...that’s what GOP big man Grover Norquist called us when we refused to allow the Gang of 8 (his boy Rubio!) to push through their amnesty.
Bitter Enders, Unite!!! Guess who’s behind the latest amnesty push??? 2013
[snip]That’s right, you guessed it...the same guy behind Bush’s Amnesty who has managed to muck up every attempt at immigration reform since the 80’s including California’s prop. 187.
The K Street Grand Poobah, the one and only (praise be to ALLAH!) Muslim loving, open border GROVER NORQUIST!
Headline: Grover vs. the Bitter Enders
(Grover trying to give Rubio & the gang of 8 political cover )
NRO ^ | April 9,2013
[snips] Grover Norquist is known as an anti-tax crusader, but in the coming weeks he will be just as much a pro-immigration crusader, combating what he calls the bitter enders who oppose comprehensive immigration reform.
Norquist says that hes trying to counteract the effect of a handful of radio talk-show hosts who talk loudly.

Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light
For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that we bring
When tomorrow comes.
Amen!
We’re just making Lemonade. You are being way too literal.
I’ll bet they’re getting better reviews than Illary’s book.
George Will called us “Vulgarians”. :)
