"The soft bigotry of low expectations."

Nothing can be more bigoted than believing Deplorables were so ignorant as to be unaware of Trump's bigotry. Defending Deplorables is a form of bigotry as you are robbing them of all agency. They knew exactly what they were doing. To argue they weren't is to literally reduce them to infants, who are incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong.


I don't give a rat's ass if it it somebody's proverbial aunt.

The fact that this statement was/is ignored or explained away by those it made uncomfortable is in a way worse than those who thought it a righteous thing to say.
