At first the Deplorables were detestable rubes

But now their leader is in danger of destabilizing the world. If Trump dissolves NATO the Europeans are not without means to resist Russian irredentism. Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and even Italy have larger GDPs than Russia and could build up armed forces to resist them.


It is an unfathomable and dystopian situation but this is the situation they are helping create. I don't have an iota of empathy for them.

Does that make the opposites the "Adorables"? I would not be offended.

Including NATO members, and Trump insisting it's not a problem. In fact, I would be surprised if that doesn't happen. He's clearly decided to turn over foreign policy to Russia, and he prefers their account of national security issues while ignoring presidential intelligence briefings. He's already proved himself a traitor, and the GOP could care less.

Putin uses his ability to hack the election in Trump's favor, and Trump pulls U.S. out of NATO and in turn, Eastern Europe. Putin moves in. Who knows.
