The Deplorables would be perfectly happy in a society where the (insert name of group they are pissed-off about this week) get treated so badly they leave but the "good people" (read: the Deplorables and anyone like them) are left alone.

That's a nice theory but in practice, when shit gets bad in a dictatorship it gets bad for everyone.
