You Might Be Deplorable If....

Recently Hillary Clinton made a statement about some Trump followers being "deplorable." For those of you who only watch Fox News, the actual statement was-

 "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America."

It appears that people are horrified by this remark. But really, if you think about it, Trump polls at 44%. There were roughly 130 million voters in the 2012 election. When you break it down, thats only 57 million Trump supporters and if only half of them are "deplorable" then we are only talking 28 million people. Hardly the vast majority of Americans.

Shit people.....do the math. It is only 8.5% of Americans she is referring to. I think it is pretty easy to take a long, hard look around you at any given moment and determine that 8.5% of people are deplorable. In my home of six, 8.5% is half a person. There is never a moment when at least one whole person is not deplorable around here! I'm guessing the actual number  of deplorables is much higher, but let's just go with it. However, it appears that other people are stunned to learn this and are unsure if this includes them or not, so I have channeled my best Jeff Foxworthy imitation and I am going to try to clarify for you......

You might be deplorable if you wear your extra white bedsheets as hoods on date night.

You might be deplorable if when someone factually disagrees with you, your response is to call them a laundry list of derogatory names and suggest they be shot, bombed or hanged.

You might be deplorable if you claim to support the troops of the United States and then berate prisoners of war and Gold Star families.

Really, I could go on all day here. So check yourself, I think the basket is getting pretty full.
