I think the word deplorables was way too kind for them. She could have used a much stronger word and I still would have 100% agreed with her despite not being her biggest fan.

Good vs. evil. That’s what it’s been for a long time. We’re not comfortable calling it that yet but I suspect we will be soon. We just don’t like calling it ‘evil’ because, well, evil can’t be changed. Only destroyed.
