I didn't see many stupid college kids. I saw lots of grubby workers with dirty hands who took time out to vote for their candidate. You think they're deplorable. Me, I have respect for them.

Again, I sympathize, but what is the politically correct term for those who abhor political correctness? The answer isn't to avoid speaking about the problem. Many with blue leaning values cannot stand silent on the question of bigotry. I'd suggest that by the problem's nature, there is not and ought not be a way to refer to bigots in a polite non insulting way. Prove me wrong. How would you refer to them?
Yes, there is a problem with choosing the correct language. Do you have any constructive suggestions?
Perhaps the bigots ought to speak up. How do you prefer to be described? If bigots want to be treated with politically correct genteel respect, are they interested in responding in kind?
I don't expect Playdude or Eric to speak up anytime soon. I suggest that you address/remove all the bigotry that currently on your side before you start trying to address/remove it from the other side. I tend respond to them negatively. I tend to use terms like clueless or idiot or twit to describe their low level of knowledge pertaining to the people that they're putting down. I know a lot of liberals.The smart ones keep their negative opinions to themselves because they know they're not the only ones in the world. I've listened to a lot of liberals on TV. I've read a lot stuff written by liberals here and else where and the majority of those liberals are bigots or employees of bigots. I would like to know what cream puff worlds that you guys come from and live in? Are you lower order lib's wealthy enough to afford the amount of protection and armed security the uppity liberals can afford? My careless minded liberal neighbor found out that she's touchable? OK. We've been watching a bunch of bigots parading around, beating up people and destroying stuff for a few days. Now, you want to talk about the term "deplorable" and who's group that it more directly applies, watch the news you'll see them and you may begin to understand why your butts were kicked in this election.
We got our butts kick because there are too many of you that believe the zombie apocalpse is just around the corner and a Manhatten billioniare (who lives down the avenue from me) big daddy actually gives a shit about you. I'm still struggling with whether this is more funny than pathetic.
Many of us found him impossible to listen to. Now we will hear his lying mouth all the time, ordering us to suffer on behalf
of people who believe that the common man exists only too serve those elites. Oh, yes, America will be great -- in palaces and castles for economic elites who might, at the end of this nightmare, be haled before firing squads of revolutionary justice as in Russia in 1918 and 1919.
Having made liberals politically irrelevant, Donald Trump and his buddies have practically assured that the opposition will become increasingly radicalized and violent. But don't worry; they're taking names and you must might be seen as a quisling to the working class for your posts here.
