You said deplorables, not me. Clinton is as useless as the rest of them[1]. Maybe follow up and ask for an example before assuming I'm hitting on your favorite political bugaboo or part of The Other Team. Your reply is an example of the problem. >> "Believing about half of your fellow countrymen are 'awful human beings' is bonkers." You said half, not me. You have literally no insight into what I mean and you think you know everything about me because of the media you consume. This is the problem. To be clear: I don't think the noisy few are representative. I think most people don't have strong opinions on anything. That's not great, but I can work with them. But I can't tell whether they're just politically zoned out or waiting for something in a comment to latch on to for an unhinged rant until spending time getting to know them.
