    Went on way too long before it was addressed but when the leadership of the party is peddling that garbage why should we expect any difference?

    Came back to this thread just in time for the part where the Trump supporters express their outrage at people being offended by Trump's deplorable comments.

    Remember: his political opponents are vermin and the enemy of the people. And we shouldn't be bothered by him saying so.

    How vile so much of our electorate has become.....

    Really glad so many understood the purpose behind this and were able to turn it into more sniping at the other side.

    I know, right. After Hillary called us deplorables, then got spanked hard by the American electorate, you'd think calling half of the American voters names would be a bad idea by now.

    Lack of decorum is engrained in social media. I appreciate wanting to turn back the clock but I fear we're too far gone.

    It didn't hurt Trump to call half the voters names like 'vermin', 'enemy of the people' and 'the enemy within'. You guys eat that stuff up yet get your panties in a wad over 'deplorables'.

    The thing is that Trump is referring to politions, the deep state, and illegal immigrants (some of which are committing horrible crimes). The dims are referring to the citizens of the United States of America. The Republicans that I know embrace the insults from the other side.

    Signed,

    Deplorable Garbage

    Oh no someone said words that hurt your feelings. Run to your safe space and lock the door! Has the crying stopped yet? it has been almost a week. You probably have some peachfuzz on your head that you can dye blue. That might make you feel better. If it doesn't, maybe another round of screaming at the sky will help. Get better Jo. We are all pulling for you!

    Well here's the vermin quote. I'm not seeing the part where he says he's only referring to politicians, deep state and illegal immigrants. Can you point it out to me?

    "We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections"

    Why don't you put that in context. He is referring to the deep state. Are all dims this obtuse?

    So it's the deep state that lives like vermin within the confines of our country? Why didn't he say 'deep state' then? And what more context do you need? Does it bother you that he's calling people 'vermin'?

    It doesn't bother me that he is calling deep staters vermin. These people need to be exposed. They do not have the country's best interest at heart. It will be interesting when the Epstein and Diddy lists are revealed. Would you have any problem calling those people vermin?

    Yeah, figured. Calling any group of people 'vermin' should be condemned. And still waiting for you show me where he is only referring to the deep state.

    This is the word that you find so offensive you would never refer to anyone as it, even pedophile sex trafficers:

    vermin /vûr′mĭn/
    noun plural
    1. Various small animals, such as rats or cockroaches, that are destructive, annoying, or injurious to health.
    2. Animals that prey on farm animals or game or that destroy crops.
    3. People considered loathsome or repulsive.

    If this is the word that makes you need your safe space, then how did you make it this far in life?

    Yes, referring to a group of people as cockroaches is really bad and should be condemned. It's not surprising to me though that you don't condemn it. You voted for Trump because he said stuff like this not in spite of it.

    No, I am not easily offended. I didn't need my safe space when HRC called us deplorables or Biden called us garbage either. It is just a testament to how mentally weak you are that a word will send you running to safety. Go cry in your corner.

    You have been exposed, I'm done with you. Next!

    Well you seem to be easily offended to me, what with all the anger and insults in your posts. I'm just trying to have a rational conversation with you and you're getting all emotional and angry.
