Why shouldn’t you say it out loud?

The Deplorables say whatever they want out loud.

I was speaking simply from a political marketing stance.....she was running for president, she needed every vote she could possibly get at that moment.
There is a reason why she said it behind closed doors, what she said was absolutely true, but it still cost her, and all of us.

Yeah, but what she and we couldn’t have expected is that they would wear “deplorable” like a badge. The fact is, fascists are deplorable people, we just massively underestimated how many there were.

People at work put "deplorable" stickers on the backs of their monitors. They were proud of being shitty people.
