When Hillary Clinton made her now infamous comment about “a basket of deplorables”, the most obvious next question was what do you do with deplorables. Hillary, of course, didn’t elaborate but the implications were obvious. You had to do something to get rid of them. (Fortunately, Hillary lost, but her “deplorables” comment has become the foundation for an increasingly violent “resistance”.)
After the election of President Trump, Democrat leaders have used aggressive language to insult and berate Republicans. Maxine Waters has suggested that the “resistance” get in the face of Trump administration officials and Republicans in general. This call to arms has resulted in a constant stream of harassment in restaurants and at homes. (There is certainly no reason to assume that harassment will stop. Logically, it will increase as the mid-term elections approach.)
But this is not all that has happened, CNN commentator Chris Cuomo has taken the aggression a step further. He has suggested that ANTIFA and other leftists physically attack “bigots” who he defines as anyone having a morally inferior position. The interesting aspect of Cuomo’s position is that he leaves it up to ANTIFA to define who hold such positions. (Obviously, this includes anyone who opposes a politically correct social justice position, or anyone who thinks America is a great country and opposes the global socialist agenda.) In advocating for violence, Mr. Cuomo is ignoring the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights and numerous court decision regarding freedom of speech and assembly.
What is beyond deplorable? There is certainly precedent for handling deplorables. Both Woodrow Wilson (D) and FDR (D) interned American citizens. Should that be the fate of deplorables? Unfortunately, the language used would suggest that this is insufficient. You cannot cure deplorables. It is costly to keep them around for any period of time. The answer is to get rid of them, they are expendable.
Within the past hundred years, numerous horrors have been perpetrated to get rid of deplorables. In each and every instance of horror, the genocidal slaughter was in millions if not tens of millions. If Americans do not stop this kind of genocidal thinking from the left, harassment and physical assault will not be enough to satisfy the haters who see bigotry in any dissent from their demands.

Tommy Robinson is one of those deplorables who actually fight back. He has a marvelous interview on jihad watch where he literally takes apart a biased Daily Mail journalist. (The DM journalist is quite like Eric the Troll in that he starts with nothing more than an ideological bias.) Robinson traps him when when he shows up at Robinson’s vacation hotel. With the tables turned, the DM journalist literally runs but Robinson refuses to let him get away unscathed. It is one of the few times where the fake news is actually exposed for both its ignorance and bias. Well worth watching.
Spot on. And no amount of ignorant (“unknowing”. “uneducated”) verbiage by the Left can change that. They try to rewrite history, because many of the young have not even learned it, but it will never change the facts. Sadly, this is what America has become. Remember in November.
“This call to arms has resulted in a constant stream of harassment in restaurants and at homes.”
Far more deplorables harass innocent citizens for being non-white than get harassed for being deplorable.
You are EFFING out of your mind. Blacks commit far, far, far more crimes against whites than whites do against blacks. You are a deplorably delusional denier of demographic data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGTUcS-yQtQ
His comments are all too often without any real thought attached. I call such people bumper sticker liberal because that is about thei level of reasoning. In his comment below, he shifts the discussion from the political abuses of republicans to the social annoyances of having to deal with people who can’t speak English.
Eric is not a dummy. I don’t think he’s a professional shill either, because he’s gone so far off message on so many comments.
His emotional and rhetorical responses illustrate that he has no logical ones.
Sooner or later he will resort to intelligent intellectual debate and then become persuaded… it will not be a pleasant journey for him.
The problem is that all of his responses are part of a fixed pattern. You call them emotional and rhetorical – and I agree. Such responses are void of a depth of thinking, or for that matter real feeling. There are times when I believe that his responses border on insanity brought on by hatred. In that I pity him because the road to intelligent debate does not lie ahead but behind, and there is no way back.
Agree, it’s not about reasoned discussion, and he’s not even a Republican nor Republican bound.
So is this just digital throatpunching?
Digital distracting to cause obfuscation concerning any article. By responding to his distraction you lose sight of the message.
The operative word here being “citizens” – guess that doesn’t include your precious Illegal Aliens.
Lefties such as Eric the half troll have consciously decided to ignore reality – just as their Soviet and Maoist predecessors did for over half a century.
Citizens,yes citizens, are being harassed regularly by deplorables because they are brown and talk in public in a foreign language – usually Spanish. Nothing more. There are plenty of videos – look for them.
So videos on one side versus statistics, logic, reason, and videos on the other? Do you build your world view by slanted media and videos?
Please provide statistics that show deplorables are somehow being harassed in public more than them actually harassing in public.
Your assertion: “Far more deplorables harass innocent citizens for being non-white than get harassed for being deplorable.”
Mark has been around and around with you on crime statistics — you made the assertion, you have to have something to back up your claim.
You have a golden opportunity here to persuade all us conservatives with your brilliance — go for it!
Crime statistics and CONservative interpretations thereof have nothing to do with innocent citizens being harassed for being black or brown. I provided ample evidence on prior threads that what I say is happening is in actuality happening.
I’ve seen nothing from your side to counter my claim and support yours that: “This call to arms has resulted in a constant stream of harassment in restaurants and at homes.”
Now if Marc and you wish to contend that crimes stats provide CONservatives with good reason to harass innocent people on the street because of their skin color or language, perhaps you should just up and say so!
We are not denying that there are BAD people on the RIGHT who have done RACIST and BIGOTED things to people of color. That is undoubtedly true. BUT, and this a HUGE BUT people of color have done and do and will continue to do BAD things to whites or Jews. That has happened throughout history and happens to this day. Bad people are everywhere and in every continent and clime. For example, as a kid I took a lot of crap on Manhattan’s lower East Side for being both white and Jewish from a lot of non-whites. I was beaten up by a black gang and had eggs thrown at me. I was called pale-faced Jew boy more than I would like to recall.
This is the reality that eludes you. I think of you, however, more of a victim of Frankfurt School indoctrination (Herbert Marcuse) – that alleges that only whites in the West can be racist – than a perpetrator. The fact that you REPEATEDLY show up on these threads is actually a good sign. Listen to the Joe Rogan – Jordan Peterson interviews. They will open your eyes. The common thread there is that Left and Right need to balance each other out and that identity politics on both sides is poison.
If you want to complain about identity politics, I suspect you should look to the timber in the eye of TBE. I will remind you of the basis of my comment:
“This call to arms has resulted in a constant stream of harassment in restaurants and at homes.”
This claim is made here in some form about every week or so. The deplorables are being constantly harassed by the liberals – supposedly. No cry of foul could be heard anywhere from anyone on the right. But if I say that in actuality the deplorables harass a great deal more than the opposite… we’ll just look above. So look to your own house if you want an amiable discussion.
I stand by my charge – your crime stats have nothing to do with the subject except to provide excuse for deplorable activities.
And TBE comments about your assertion have nothing to do with your identity. We know nothing about your identity other than you have self-identified as a leftist troll. You haven’t supported your assertion at all. Where is the data for ‘deplorable activities’??
You do know that in politicical party affiliation is a big part of identity politics these days don’t you? Since you require proof for every statement from anybody with my political identity (but not yours, of course) look at what Wiki has to say on the subject:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_politics
Oh, and the “data for deplorable activities” will be posted as soon as I see data that deplorables are experiencing a “constant stream of harassment in restaurants and at homes.”
You’re claiming to be the victim of harassing comments because of your political identity, when you come here literally every single day to do exactly what you complain about? That’s hilarious.
Nope, I do not complain about anyone harassing me. I am saying if you don’t want people to play identity politics, then don’t play identity politics with them.
You’re making no sense. You excused the harassers by asserting they are just victims of harassment themselves, and then you refuse to defend your own position, until someone offers you data that this widely reported harassment even exists. Don’t you get dizzy driving around in circles all day?
Sarah Sanders hasn’t harassed anyone. She was harassed at the urging of Maxine Waters, who publicly called for widespread harassment just three days earlier. If you can’t acknowledge how despicable that is, and you only want to talk about how the people being harassed deserve it, then there isn’t much basis for discussion.
“Your assertion: “Far more deplorables harass innocent citizens for being non-white than get harassed for being deplorable.”
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.
So you got nothing?
How many ‘deplorables’ have you witnessed harassing innocent citizens for being non-white?
What world do you live in?
What world does Eric The Troll live in? I can postulate an answer. “The university class room.”
How many deplorables have you witnessed experiencing a “constant stream of harassment in restaurants and at homes”?
Me, but I stupidly kept putting out lawn signs, I guess I shouldn’t have been so uppity and known my place.
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.
Finally, someone uses the term genocide.
This country has been experiencing a soft white genocide for years. How, through the censorship of the epidemic of violent black on white crime, (including from the frauds at Fox News), incrementally ramping up since the Obama regime.
One of the first activities of genocide, according to the genocide doctrine, is to tear down and destroy any vestige of history relating to the oppressed race. How are those confederate statues faring?
Excuse me if I’m rambling, but what always has gotten to me is how many Republicans, including the editorial staff at TBE, and many of its writers think this government is for real. Unfortunately, until someone in your social orbit gets assaulted by some Muslim, or inner city savage, will you wake up.
I could go on, but why?
One more thing – when the Trump Wall comes down, and I don’t mean a Mexican Wall but a spiritual wall, this country will turn into England. And, if you think someone like Pence will come to the rescue, you’re dreaming. He will fold like a cheap suitcase, like he did to the queers In Indiana.
Wake up before it’s too late.
Nice racist rant… thanks for telling us openly what you think about people of color. Wish more of you would tell the truth in this manner.
Thanks very much. I appreciate your typical imbecilic, dullard comment.
I know I’m supposed to cower when I am accused of being racist.
The word “Racist,” in today’s lexicon, is a white person who speaks the truth. And truth today, is politically incorrect.
A moron like like you will eventually reap what you sow.
I can’t wait.
In humility, from the bottom of heart, F*ck U.
You don’t even comprehend what is being said! wow…
You assume he wants to comprehend.
Must have missed that racist part.
Was racist enough to be deleted.
OK, thought you were referring to original blog, not the deleted comment.
Why? You should not celebrate racism in any way, shape, or form. That is simply not accepted here nor should be anywhere else.
Good point, but I prefer racists to be honest about their racism rather than shroud it in innuendo and implied bigotry. First, it rightly exposes them to harsh criticism and second, being honest with yourself is the first step toward eliminating your own racism.
Well then I’m screwed as I have a bigotry against racism.
Trump has continued to keep the left super-motivated with his juvenile conduct and endless name calling. They said that once elected, he would start acting with a modicum of dignity. He is poisoning the Republican brand, and sending Dems to the polls in droves. Yeah, I know there are good things happening … none of which came about as a result of his outrageous behavior.
Wrong, yet again.
Am I? Clinton won VA by 5.4% points. Northam won by 8.9% points. Stewart will lose by 20+ points. At some point, denying reality doesn’t make sense.
If the Democrats nominate Chris’s brother Andrew, who thinks America was never great, 2020 will be a 10 point win for Trump in Virginia.
We can dream. Remember that Andrew’s audience cheered his anti-American statement.
And what does that tell you?
It tells me that Obama was very effective in undermining the USA. Howeve, I believe there was a lot more jeering than cheering – and Governor Cuomo was caught off guard by his democrat audience.
Yeah, I was stunned he said that and his fans liked it.
