So, yes, she was wrong. To emphasize her wrongness, I note she lost the election.
I noted the plethora of Trump placards in my area. Are they all 'deplorables' ? Hell no, I grew up here, I've lived here continuously for almost 25 years and the majority of my neighbors who had Trump signage on their yards are not deplorable. I'm not sure too many of them gave a rat's ass about the characterization, but I was greatly offended at the broad and sweeping stereotyping of people I know personally.
And yet I still voted for her . . . .
What was your choice?
That's why YOU are not deplorable and they are!
I volunteered with my neighbors here during the 2011 Flood. Damn hard for me to characterize any of them as deplorable if I worked with them placing goddam sand bags.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
