Democrats Still Show the Same Contempt for Americans That Cost Them the 2016 Election

In what they believe to be an affirmation of the popularity of their vile attacks, the Left only marches faster and blindly towards the electoral cliff. Everyone sees it coming, except for the Democrats.

If there was a single moment that sealed Donald Trump’s victory in 2016, it was most likely his famous “Because you’d be in jail” line to Hillary Clinton during the second debate. But if there was a single moment that sealed Hillary’s loss, it was her now-infamous “basket of deplorables” speech.

And although no Democrat since has dared to utter those fatal words again, they don’t really have to. The general sentiment of pure contempt for roughly half of America remains on full display, and thanks to Hillary’s giving voice to it, we all know it when we see it.

Similar to Mitt Romney’s foolish “47 percent” remark during the 2012 election, Hillary Clinton’s dismissal of millions of Trump voters as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it” was an unforced error and a self-inflicted wound rolled into one. Quite simply, a candidate will never (and should never) win an election by demonizing American voters. Attacking an opponent is one thing, but attacking his supporters—hard-working, taxpaying citizens—is new territory.

Judging by the derogatory chatter on DU, HilLIARy's Basket of Deplorables remark is moving closer toward the center of Dem/Prog thought, not away.

And as revealing as HilLIARy's remark was of Dem/Prog elitism, it also demonstrates that, given the chance, the Dems will oppress and exploit the states whose food feed them, fibers (cotton, wool, polyester) clothe them, and building products shelter them.
