The Elites’ War on the Deplorables

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Recently Politico reporter Marc Caputo was angered at rude hecklers at a Trump rally who booed beleaguered CNN correspondent Jim Acosta.

So Caputo tweeted of them, “ If you put everyone’s mouths together in this video, you’d get a full set of teeth.”

Politico had not employed such a crass journalist since before it fired Julia Ioffe for tweeting, “Either Trump is f—ing his daughter or he’s shirking nepotism laws. Which is worse?” (Ioffe was then snatched up by the Atlantic , which has an unpredictable policy either of excusing or not excusing the controversial expressions of its newly hired journalists.)

I suppose Caputo meant that Trump voters intrinsically lacked either the money to fix their teeth or the knowledge of the hygiene required to take care of them or the aesthetic sensitivity of how awful their mouths looked. Or Caputo was simply rehashing the stereotypes that he had seen on reality TV shows like “Duck Dynasty” and “The Deadliest Catch.”

Or none of the above: the journalist grandee was just stupid.

That last alternative seems most likely since Caputo then escalated and called them collectively “garbage people.” Or rather, in the manner of a cowardly age of social media, he tweeted that slur when safely at a distance. 

What did “garbage people” mean? That by birth or training such toothless, smelly people were subhuman, like refuse? And if Caputo had substituted any other racial minority for his slurs, would he still have his job according to the cannons of progressive censure and Internet lynching? Could he have said something similarly degrading about the attendees of after an open borders or Black Lives Matter rally and still have his job?

Sarah Jeong’s Struggle
Last week, the New York Times named tech writer Sarah Jeong to its editorial board with apparent knowledge of her long history of racist tweets, as well as verbal attacks on police and males in general. Perhaps such gutter venom was proof of militant orthodoxy to be appreciated rather than medieval racism to be shunned. Her mostly empty résumé seems compensated by her identity and her politics—as the Times more or less confessed in its sad defense of her racist outbursts.

Jeong claimed that white people smelled like wet dogs. She had bragged that she hated them, and hoped that soon they would become childless and disappear. Her final solution of demographic extinction was, she said (in historically dense fashion), “my plan all along.”

One wonders whether she will canonize her collected tweets into something like “My Struggle,” replete with less abstract territorial theories how to reify her “plan” or add pseudo-scientific details explaining why and how whites, as she alleges, smell or have had no cultural or scientific achievements.

Lots of her other tweets about toxic white people and culturally repugnant white heterosexual males suggest that Jeong’s twitter corpus is not, as alleged, one of flippant jest, counterpunches to trolls, or accidental streaming.

Rather it is consistent with the profile of an embittered but otherwise mostly undistinguished social justice warrior who had fueled her bias at Harvard Law School and honed its expression in the no-consequences world of left-wing blogs.

Of course, once caught, Jeong predictably retreated to victim status: she was simply replying to hateful trolls. (One wonders whether her venom against police was likewise supposedly prompted by police attacks on her?)

The Times , which claims it has a practice of calling out hate speech, and blackballing any with Jeong-like skeletons, suddenly tsk-tsked its hiring by claiming that she was merely overzealous in her eliminationist response to Internet trolls. More likely, the Times liked her verve and smiled at the click-bait attention she earned. It’s a free country, after all, and the Times is perfectly free to hire all the progressive racists it wishes to enhance its brand.

Routine Demonization
In the text message trove of disgraced FBI operatives Lisa Page and Peter Strzok there was the same sort of barnyard contempt. Georgetown graduate Strzok claimed to Page that a local Virginia Walmart “smelled” of Trump voters—a progressive stereotype of white Neanderthals that is increasingly freely expressed.

In another government text, an unidentified FBI agent, assigned to the Hillary Clinton email investigation, had written of the Trump voters  that they were “lazy POS that think we will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing.”

Again, demonizing the Trump voter as beyond cultural redemption is nothing new. During the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton infamously dismissed Trump supporters as “deplorables” who were “irredeemable” and were “not America.”

After her defeat, Clinton proved her early smears were no accident. Speaking in India, she again slurred Trump supporters as being racist, sexist, and xenophobic for their inability to appreciate her progressive godhead. All this from the 2008 candidate who earned the sobriquet of “Annie Oakley” from Barack Obama for quaffing boilermakers, shooting, and bowling while pandering to what Clinton had once endearingly called “ hard-working Americans, white Americans .”

In some sense, the rebranded Clinton simply continued where Barack Obama had left off in his denunciations of the “bitter clingers” of Pennsylvania, who were prone to simplistic trust in their guns and religion and, out of insecurity, scapegoated others.

When Obama periodically wrote off Americans as “lazy” and ignorant of the world beyond them (this, from another Harvard law graduate who thought Hawaii was in Asia and Austrians spoke “Austrian”), he was, to use a progressive metaphor, dog whistling the themes of his clingers speech.

Easy Targets, No Consequences
Elites are confident that there is nothing either ethically wrong or career-endangering in smearing middle-class Trump supporters with such crude stereotypes.

When pundits on television go after Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), they inevitably resort to attacking his Tulare roots, and his dairy-farm upbringing (“ A former dairy farmer”; “ way over his head” ; “ nothing in his résumé that would have qualified him for the post,” etc.) to claim that he is mismatched by Harvard-trained Adam Schiff. Again, how strange that egalitarians always revert to base snobbery and class stereotypes in lieu of an argument or an idea.

Arkansas native Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, is a frequent target of such venomous cultural disparagement.

She has become our new Sarah Palin, whom the elite used to ridicule routinely, Remember David Letterman’s stupid joke about her daughter (likely a reference to then-14-year old Willow) being raped by baseball star Alex Gonzales in a dugout—the subtext being that white trash like the Palins love to have underage gratuitous sex wherever they can find it. (Projection alert: Letterman was later blackmailed into admitting to turning his studio office into a sort of sex den where he routinely before and after his show seduced female staffers).

At the 2018 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, comedian Michelle Wolf trashed Sanders’ appearance and her pedigree. Actor Peter Fonda later called her a misogynistic obscenity, and said she should be deported to Arkansas.

New York Times columnist Frank Bruni once mocked her accent . Listening to her, he said, was akin “to hearing the air seep out a flat tire.” And Los Angeles Times writer David Horsey mocked Sanders as a “slightly chunky soccer mom” who was out of place with “fake eyelashes” and “formal dresses.”

Equally bizarre is another trope that Trump voters should be deported and illegal aliens welcomed in their place. After the 2016 election, conservative NeverTrump pundits variously expressed their contempt for Trump supporters as a sort of class of expendables, or at least as inferior to immigrants.

David Brooks, for example, claimed that white working communities were often xenophobic given their own realization of inferiority. “ You’d react negatively, too, if confronted with people who are better versions of what you wish you were yourself,” he wrote .

If I had noted the same contempt for the Norteños gang member living across the road who this month shot at another neighbor’s house, broke the windows of my nephew’s home, was arrested, released, and rearrested in one night, and periodically used drugs in my orchard—that he acts so antisocially because he and associates are “confronted with better versions of what he wished he was himself”—I would face a career-ending charge of racism from the electronic mob.

Sometimes state rather than national deportation is dreamed of as a less drastic cure for the deplorables. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton said that his state’s white population did not have enough “B+” citizens and therefore needed to find them from Somalia. “Our economy cannot expand based on white, B+, Minnesota-born citizens. We don’t have enough.” One wonders why the bigot Dayton considered himself and unknown Somali immigrants en masse to be B+ and above, but most of his fellow Minnesotans otherwise sub-B+. What were the racial criteria by which he judged whole classes of people?

The Shield of Progressive Victimhood
These examples of contempt from politicians and media for what might be called the Trump voter, the white working classes, or red-state America, could be repeated ad nauseam. The stereotypes, however, raise a number of ironies and paradoxes.

Liberal orthodoxy has always professed to oppose stereotyping people by their outward appearance.

Or has it? I might argue that progressivism used to remind us that our character, not our color mattered. But then I cannot, because it never did —given that progressivism at its birth emerged as a bastard mix of Darwinism-fueled eugenics and Germanic inspired pseudo-science.

Academic dogma postulates that white people cannot be the victims of racism, and such banal white demonization has now seeped into the larger liberal commentariat. With that bias comes the twin notion that one can smear the white working classes with impunity. Caputo, however, was not brave or stupid enough to visit a Trump rally and to suggest to the crowd around him to get to a Clear Smile clinic.

If you are a non-white purveyor of such prejudice, venom like Jeong’s is contextualized through the lens of compensatory historical grievances. Someone’s grandfather mistreated your grandmother, so you can invert and then replay the roles with impunity. Or less charitably, life’s disappointments are always due to past cosmic injustice, not one’s own perceived tragic shortcomings or bad luck or just cruel fate.

If you are an elite white liberal, you are a twofer: virtue signaling your identity politics bona fides, while psychologically squaring the circle of your own privilege. Those who ridicule less fortunate white others for their supposed racial privilege—themselves often the products of old boy networks, elite upbringings, inherited perks, prep schools and parental leveraging—end up as the privileged smearing the non-privileged for their privilege.

Jeong is a Harvard Law graduate. Strzok has a master’s degree from Georgetown. The ridicule of the white working class by NeverTrump conservative pundits is read on the pages of the nation’s premier newspapers or voiced in hallowed symposia.

Is such ignorance of an entire class because of, or in spite of such, elite training?

Does the university-bred cursus honorarium have room for real-world experience beyond the campus and laptop?

Has Jeong ever worked welding alongside the grandchildren of Dust Bowl diaspora to adjudicate their actual skin-colored advantage? Did her class and gender studies work at Harvard Law constitute a tougher curriculum than a 12-hour shift at Denny’s? Is the soybean jack-of-all-trades farmer really denser than the Yale English major?

A final irony. In answer to the now hackneyed question, who or what created Trump? All these purveyors of class and racial prejudice need only look in the mirror.

Where chosen cunt?

The reality is that there is reason to ridicule deplorable's. Deplorable's are welcome to their own opinions, but not their own facts. The one in the picture above looks like he might be Amish. He likely thinks that horse travel is the best way to travel, and that's fine, for him. But the reality is it's slow and messy and not something most Americans want to use for their mode of transport. He also likely thinks Trump is the best kind of President, and that's fine, for him. The reality is Trump is a horrible joke of a President and not someone most Americans voted for or support. Most deplorable's are about as educated as the Amish and have archaic opinions that aren't really valid or completely insane in the 21st century. Even by accepting the label "deplorable" as many of them embraced is self identifying them as xenophobes, homophobes, islamophobes, sexists, and racists. Why anyone would gladly accept that label is beyond me, but then so is driving a horse and buggy into town.

"An Amish education consists of eight years in a one room schoolhouse being taught by a teacher with an eighth grade education. On the face of it, this seems like a woefully inadequate and unfair way to prepare Amish children for an adult life as productive members of society. But to properly judge this system you must take into account the society for which they are being prepared. This society believes that the pathway to heaven is paved with modesty."

If you're "preparing" yourself and your children for a modest pathway to heaven which your peers and ancestors claim is free of minorities, gays, liberals and Muslims, then raising deplorable's makes some sense. They'll never need the exposure to other cultures, a solid civics education, and understanding of biology, chemistry and mathematics. But if you want a highly functioning child with nearly limitless opportunities before them then they need all of that and then some.

NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST? A reality show host is the president. Big star. Much better choice than any mere politician with any knowledge of...anything at all. Much better to buck the script so you can point at someone with a special finger gesture and yell "You're fired!!!!" which is a qualification I've always admired in a president.

I can’t speak for all progressives, but none that I know think about Hillary at all — we really don’t give a shit about her. You guys are the ones always bringing her up.

None of us were happy when Reagan, Bush I, or Bush II were elected, but we knew they were decent people with whose policies we disagreed. Trump is different, he is amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, racist, thin-skinned, narcissistic, infantile, monumentally stupid, spiteful, and vindictive. He’s also a pathological liar and a sociopath who has been involved in thousands of law suits because he routinely rips off and even destroys the businesses of those who have done work for him. Reagan and the Bushes shared none of those attributes. We oppose Trump because of what he is and does.

While I voted for Bernie in the primary, yes Democrats gave her the nomination. Then she lost and we moved on. Few progressives are sad that she didn't win because they loved her so much, they're only sad she didn't win because of the horrific alternative we ended up with.

"You bought her, now you own her and are considered responsible for her"

Again, I didn't give a dime to the Hillary campaign and I would have been happier with just about any other actual progressive candidate. But even if I had donated to her campaign, I wouldn't "own her", she tried and lost and is now just a retired grandmother that takes up virtually zero space in my brain, she only comes up when conservatives try to justify electing the worst President in history. Instead of saying "Our guy is amazing as can be seen by all his hard work and actual bills passed that are helping every day Americans" all they have is "At least he's not Killary!".

These two yahoos were seen yukking it up at a Trump rally last week.  I don't have any problem saying that the Trump deplorables are a plague on this country and need to be defeated and sent to the ash heap of history as soon as possible. 

They are a minority of the population, many of them are ignoramuses, and racists, and the rest of us are under no requirement to be nice to them. 

I do understand that not all Trump supporters are the self described deplorables, and these comments may not apply to them. 

I'm talking basically about the idiots who chant "lock her up" at the rallies and believe that the "real" truth will prove that the "real" traitors are Obama and Loretta Lynch and James Comey.

After a year and a half of Trump, I'm pretty sure that his voter basket is filled with about 33% deplorables, 33% misguided republicans who have always voted republican and just followed that instinct, and 34% of voters who wake up every morning, look at the news, what our president says and does, and then say a prayer "Dear God, WTF did I do on that November day? Please help me correct the worst mistake of my life."

Wish I could say a third of them regret it, but that doesn't really square with a 40% approval rating.  I would say that the Trump voters who turned against him are in the 15-20% range.

I thought he had a minority of the popular vote.  It all depends where he loses any votes. Losing support in California, New York, Illinois, and a hand full of others would be meaningless.  Lost support in Michigan or Wisconsin would hurt a lot.

So, who is the alternative?  Who is going to run in 2020?  Have the dems decided on their new frontrunner?  Why has no one heard an answer on this?  Ah, too many are bleating about how bad it is to have President Trump instead of answering the 'elephant in the room' questioon, WTF did we do wrong and how do we fix it and win this back?  The only voice anyone hears is Hillary telling us every week how a different segment of society caused her loss and Bernie (who the democrats conspired to keep out of office) trying to gain credibility.

Until I see a candidate and hear his/her platform, you can bleat all you want, you still won't win anything.

When pundits on television go after Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), they inevitably resort to attacking his Tulare roots, and his dairy-farm upbringing (“A former dairy farmer”; “way over his head”; “nothing in his résumé that would have qualified him for the post,” etc.) to claim that he is mismatched by Harvard-trained Adam Schiff. Again, how strange that egalitarians always revert to base snobbery and class stereotypes in lieu of an argument or an idea.

That is absolutely untrue, the reason Nunes is 'under attack' is because he is openly obstructing justice and trying to lie and obfuscate what is going on with Mueller's investigation.  Don't try to ignore the biggest elephant in the damn room, Nunes could be from a solid upper white middle class district and be getting the same shit for the same reasons.  Nunes has been working with Trump to thwart the truth from coming out, his treason is the reason I attack him, and everything I read about opinions are the same. You don't get to change the reason Nunes is being scrutinized and criticized.   I'll say it again, treason is the reason.

Actually, 'the deplorables' are at war with themselves.  They want to take away their own healthcare, remove all protections from their retirements and 401k's, privatize their education, make their government less accountable and if by chance their 15 year old daughter gets pregnant--be forced through government law to have the child whether they want it, can afford it or even have another spare room somewhere.

These folk are not deplorable.  Instead, afraid of themselves, afraid for themselves and just generally, afraid.

It shouldn't take any sort of pressure or bending of arms to see Trump is a monumentally incompetent self admitted sexual predator and knows nothing about running a country let alone the four companies he ran into bankruptcy. It shouldn't take any "objections" from haters to see that, just a tiny bit, a minuscule amount of intelligence and objectivity would lead one not to support the gold plated fraud a minority of Americans got elected. Was it against all odds? Yes. It was. And a lot of people love an underdog, I get it. But this underdog isn't, he's a charlatan, a fake, a liar, a cheat, a limped dicked small handed piece of shit bigot and you all know it but are to God damn proud to admit it.
