(357 posts)10. Or Critical mass
The only statistic that matters is the critical mass. Lets hope that Trumps levels of deplorable support doesn't reach a critical mass. Or if I might suggest; the level of deplorable support is probably stable (30-50%). Its the level of support that is not deplorable that should concern us. Those are the people that are generally good but are kept in the Trump orbit by a media who treats both candidates as the same (plus having a major cable news channel catapulting the propaganda), RW media, and cowards like Paul Ryan, john McCain, and the rest of the spineless GOP who legitimize Trump.
