I don't agree that Trump supporters are deplorable for saying factually accurate things, or for merely being Trump supporters. I think the 40% of Trump Supporters who are clearly racist are deplorable for their racism. Again, it's not being factually accurate that makes deplorable people deplorable.
Then why did you quote me?
Because I was replying to you.

Do you understand the difference between me using quote marks to indicate the words are not my own and using them to indicate that they are yours? I was indicating why I think certain Trump (and Clinton) supporters are deplorable (their racism). My opinion is not based on 'oh no, they are factually correct and that makes them deplorable!' (not your words). I don't really think anyone thinks someone is deplorable based on what they're factually right about. The conclusions they draw from being factually right about something, like 'this child was not actually in a cage so our government is not really keeping children behind chain link fences' (not your words) are another matter.

When the reason you're being oppressed for centuries is your race, race is going to be relevant.
I feel like you're doing that thing, where there's one black guy and 9 white guys, and you point him out by calling him "the tall guy with the red shirt and blue shorts."
I'm certainly not going to point him out by calling him 'the one statistically more likely to score lower on IQ tests and to have been incarcerated'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
