Recently on CNN, former Republican politico and now Never Trump cable new analyst Rick Wilson characterized Donald Trump’s supporters as his “credulous rube ten-toothed base.”
Wilson was not original in his smear of the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump. He was likely resonating an earlier slander of Politico reporter Marco Caputo. The latter had tweeted of the crowd he saw at a Trump rally: “If you put everyone’s mouths together in this video, you’d get a full set of teeth.”
Was the point of these stereotypes that poor white working-class people who supposedly voted for the controversial Trump understandably ate improperly, did not practice proper dental hygiene, or did not visit dentists—or all three combined?
When challenged, Caputo doubled down on his invective. He snarled, “Oh no! I made fun of garbage people jeering at another person as they falsely accused him of lying and flipped him off. Someone fetch a fainting couch.”
Caputo’s “Garbage people” was also a synonym for the smears that two career FBI agents on separate occasions had called the archetypical Trump voters.
In the released trove of the Department of Justice text communications involving the Clinton email probe, an unidentified FBI employee had texted to another FBI attorney his abject contempt for the proverbial Trump voter and indeed middle America itself: “Trump’s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS [“pieces of sh*t”].” In fact, Trump in 2016 received about 90 percent of all Republican votes, about the same ratio as won by both recent presidential candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney.

Good for a spicy tagline.
Thanks
“credulous rube ten-toothed base.”
Ha! At least we still have our HAIR Mr. Wilson.
Enjoyed this one. Thanks for another VDH essay.
It is a globalist billionaire cabal... and it is generating a pushback of populism that is - at the least - leading to a culture war. Note yellow vests in France, Brexit in Britain, Duarte in the Philippines and of course Donald Trump in the U.S.
As we see in France, it will not likely remain just a 'culture war' much longer. Britain is starting to flirt with civil conflict, as is the U.S. and the EU to some extent. The cabal has the one weapon that almost cannot be defeated: FINANCE, or the banks to be more specific. They showed their hand in Greece a couple of years ago. They are setting up a global system by which none can buy or sell unless they embrace the principles of the cabal.
The only global figure with the power and resources to oppose them is Prez Donald Trump... and we can see the unrelenting vicious attack on him by mindless trolls who would turn to stone if the light of the Rising Son should burst forth upon them.
Tucker Carlson had an excellent commentary last night (Wednesday) based on comments by a spokesman for the yellow vests, Christophe Guilluy and the attack on the middle class and working populace... about 45 minutes into his show. The cabal tries to control the narrative and consistently responds to any opposition with ad hominem slurs. They appeal to the lowest common denominator in society.
The cabal shows no signs of weakening or suing for peace. We are at the point of a cultural singularity. The moment we stop fighting we will lose - lose it all.
Right on the money, as usual.
Good point.......
The comments on Trump supporters indicate they are 1-2 DNA molecules away from being screeching baboons.
'Tis about time to buy stock in Amalgamated Pitchfork & Torch.
Never confuse the righteous hatred of evil with the evil hatred of righteousness.
Get within a mile of the FBI building in DC and you can smell the stench - same with CNN... puffed up phony 'elites' squeezing out pus-like hatred from every pore.
Yep. My brother in law has worked there for 35 years.
cool
