It's great how since voting have trends have so changed so much other decade with VA going Blue.

Trump could outperform by winning states like OH, NC,NV and FL but still end up losing the election.

The more I read and think about this deplorables thing, the more I'm starting to sympathize with the people who are offended by this.

I can see people looking at this comment from Clinton against the backdrop of a modern progressive discourse where conservative views and policy positions are soundly and almost universally declared to be wholly invalid on their own merits, and nothing more than an attempt to cover for the real reason an individual may take these positions, which is of course naked racism\misogny\*phobia etc.

I mean even without Trump, a huge number of liberal in the media will imply or outright accuse moderates and conservatives who disagree with the current liberal consensus on any issue of only doing so out of hatred for one demographic group or another.

A well known example is how there is no legitimate pro-life position to many the modern left. These people don't actually value human life, they're just misogynists making up weak excuses for their deep-seated hatred of women, which they obviously feel whether they realize it or not.

During the Bush administration there was a similar dynamic on the right. Back then on Fox News and talk radio, and even in the mainstream media sometimes, it was either you support Bush and the Iraq war, or you hate America and wish to see it destroyed. No in-between, either you support what I support or there is something wrong with you.

I can see people viewing Clinton's comments in a similar way that I viewed the all the America-hater poo poo from the right back then as a hash critic of Bush's foreign policy.

I think Clinton's 'deplorables' are far closer to Romney's '47%' than posters itt are willing to admit. Both are coming from a stance where support for the opposing candidate is evidence of something inherently wrong or broken in the supporter. Even though Clinton admitted she was over-generalizing, "half" is way too high of an estimate for what she was talking about.

she did that because she's a politician, and no half is probably right, maybe lowballing it slightly, unless you're counting the begrudging trump supporters

there's no way a "compassionate conservative" supports trump and his policies (if you can really even call them that)

the former would be an idiot because they haven't paid a lick of attention to what the republicans have done or said, or they support them in those actions/words so they're an rear end in a top hat

democrats don't really have the same phenomenon, they are not authoritarian and do not vote over fear and vote against their own interests to an incredibly smaller degree (you can get into the third wayism and how lower class people get screwed over at times, but less than what would happen if they voted R)
