Since early June, when voters in Georgias sixth congressional district rubbed yet more salt in their 2016 election wounds, Democratic pols and sages have been pondering why, as Ohio congressman Tim Ryan put it, our brand is worse than Trump. Thats a low bar, given the presidents nearly subterranean approval ratings, but so far the blue party has mostly been turning to an inside-the-box set of policy and political memes: jobs programs, talk of a mutiny against House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, and better marketing or, in Ryans words, branding of the Democratic message.
Whats missing from this list is the most important and most challenging item of all: solving the liberal deplorable problem. The white working class that hoisted Donald Trump to an unexpected victory may not always admire the man, but they know that he doesnt hate people like me, in the pollsters common formulation. And they have good reason to think that Democrats, particularly coastal and media types, do hate them: Consider Frank Richs snide and oft-cited article, No Sympathy for the Hillbilly. Its possible that white working-class voters would back a party filled with people who see them as racists and misogynists, with bad values and worse taste, because they all want to raise taxes on Goldman Sachs executives, but it seems a risky bet.

Please don't bother.
They hate you.
Leftists dont merely disagree with you. They dont merely feel you are misguided. They dont think you are merely wrong. They hate you. They want you enslaved and obedient, if not dead. Once you get that, everything that is happening now will make sense. And you will understand what you need to be ready to do.
You are normal, and therefore a heretic. You refuse to bow to their idols, to subscribe to their twisted catechisms, to praise their false gods. This is unforgivable. You must burn.
...
How to we respond?
The first step is to end the denial. Open your eyes. See what is happening. Dont allow yourself to be deluded by false nostalgia for a past period of cultural peace that existed only because, at that time, the Left was winning. They hate you. Look at Twitter. Look at Facebook. Try and tell yourself that leftists are just nice people who disagree with you on a few policy details. Stop fooling yourself. ...
If the Democrats do “make good” with the Deplorables, the Deplorables damn sure better watch their backs. And if the Deplorables do believe the Democrats’ lies, they will live to regret it. Democrats are evil, liars, murders, degenerates, perverts, to make a long list short, they have every evil trait that their Father, Satan has. Decent people stay away from Democrats. They may initially be attracted to them, but once they learn how evil they are, they flee.
Being called a hobbit.
McCain continued reading the article: "The idea seems to be that if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue and the public will turn en masse against Barack Obama....Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea party hobbits could return to Middle-earth...This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell into GOP nominees. The reality is the debt limit will be raised one way or another."
Gee, all I want the USA to do control its spending like a normal business or person has to.
That made me a Hobbit?
Is the insufferable, establishment, beta-bitc-of-a-man Lowry still running it into the ground?
They made it exceedingly where they stood during the election. Maybe they'll all go broke and hang themselves.
Forget the Democrats, what about the GOP?
I wasn't too happy being called whacko-bird, knuckle dragger, neanderthal, etc....and their actions, and/or lack thereof, since the election haven't been too cool either.
I’m not a crazy Middle Earth fan and haven’t seen any of the movies, but I read the books years ago. I don’t mind being called a “hobbit”.
Hobbits were the ones that wanted to mind their own business, grow crops, and enjoy friends and family. They only got involved because others brought them into the bigger problems, and they mainly tried to keep others minding their own business. They also won through courage, hard work, friendship, and loyalty to others on the side of good. Hobbits are the exact opposite of democrats (who have an insatiable lust for power and control over others and are hard to distinguish from Saruman or Sauron).
NEVER !
Hate them back. It works for me.
The whole assumption that holding the high moral ground will dominate the conflict is in error. The animals have no morals, and consider the whole concept of morality as a sign of weakness.
The solution will be profoundly distasteful, and the Jack Ketch who uses it will never be invited to dinner. It will be the price paid for our freedom.
That’s it in a nutshell. These are enemies of human freedom and dignity. They - And their cheerleaders - must be treated as such.
Exactly. Try holding the "high moral ground" against a rabid animal. Doesn't work.
“Can Democrats Make Nice with the Deplorables?”
Not this deplorable!
That translates into more BS, and more empty phrases, and more hot air, and more TV talking heads. Exactly what many of those who live in New York or LA do for a living.
Maybe the Democrats will realize someday that most Americans care more about what the government does, then what the CNN talking heads have to say.
No. We will destroy them.
Great article. I bookmarked it the first time it was posted here. Should be required reading for every normal American.
What we call nice democrats call it bait.
Yes it will be Harris.
To answer the question—No, Never!
And I will NEVER make peace with the traitors/racists/abortion-loving/immoral/Christian-hating/femiNazi/taxpayer leeching/Trump deranged/fake sanctimonious/hypocritical @ssholes in the Rat party.
