THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT
Decades ago, my father, a WW2 Vet worked as a pipefitter out of a labor union. Like most of his fellow pipefitters at the time, he was a pro labor, pro union Democrat.
White working class males were the backbone of the Democratic party for many years, but recently things have changed. In their headlong pursuit of diversity, the Democratic party have showcased women and minorities to the point of white males having been marginalized and even scorned by the Democrats as racist, sexist bigots, and often treated as 2nd class citizens. Not surprisingly, this has caused many working class white men to drift to the GOP where they feel more accepted. This stupid move by the left wing has been the reason democrats have lost elections.
Democrats - get it through your head. White males vote in large numbers, and if you don't start making them feel more valued in your "big tent" that tent won't be big enough, and you'll just keep losing.
If you go out and call someone the "Basket of Deplorables" and suggest that they should be wiped from the earth, they aren't as likely to support you at the polls.
Opinion polls in 1920's/ early 1930's Germany showed the National Socialist Party didn't poll very well with Jewish voters either.
Here is who Hillary labeled deplorable;
Racists
Sexists
Homophobes
Xenophobes
Islamaphobes
Pretty much who everyone (except Trump supporters) find deplorable. And she said nothing about "wiping them from the earth". Although...
I'd be cool if those THINGS were wiped from the earth.
