Garbage people.
They went on to monetize the shit out of their hate crime with several fox news appearances.
Absolutely garbage people and a failure of the justice system.
I think he also ran for state Senate but lost because losers gonna lose.
As he should have. I live in this shit hole state and it's a very small victory that he didn't win.
I also read an article detailing a bit about his life and he's an absolute piece of shit. He sued his sibling(s) to get the full inheritance when their parents died, and he cut off his other family from it once he got it.
Hello fellow Missourian! I've been planning to move away to be closer to friends, but I want to stick it out for the rest of this year so I can vote for abortion and hopefully tell the Republicans here to go fuck themselves in the process.
I've been wanting to move away for a while. My brother lives in Vegas and he wants us to move out there to be closer to him, and I'm considering it.
You might even call them “deplorables”.
Don't need to dehumanize them to describe how much they suck
Deplorable: deserving strong condemnation, shockingly bad in quality.
Describes exactly how bad they suck.
Doesn't say they are not human people, just that they're the kind of human people we deplore.
At the risk of more downvotes, all I was saying is that blanketing a whole group of people in a term such as "deplorables" is a slippery slope to not seeing them as human at all. Not saying they don't deserve to be described that way.
What an odd thing to say... For one, "slippery slope" is literally the name of the logical fallacy you're doing here.
But also, think about what you're saying for a moment. How does accurately describing a person's behavior dehumanize them? Are we just supposed to never acknowledge shitty behavior in others?
It's kind of the opposite... I've never heard an animal described as "deplorable". I'm not sure they're capable of it? So if anything, the term is humanizing.
I'm pretty sure if you put out a giant basket and labeled it DEPLORABLES, you'd soon find it filled to the rim with people wearing MAGA hats who climbed in there by themselves.
Maybe you were too young in 2016, but...
I understand that its a term people use to describe others and that its been used in recent history for these exact people but that doesn't make it not dehumanizing. My point is just that there should be "people" following "deplorable." Maybe I was caught up in the semantics of the phrase but it was on my mind seeing garbage people changed to simply deplorables.
Blame the MAGA army for getting super upset about it.
So either you don't know what "deplorable" means, or what "dehumanize" means. It's one or the other.
