Frankly, I find the act of voting for Donald Trump absolutely deplorable. I find Donald Trump himself absolutely deplorable for the things he’s said and done throughout his sickening campaign.
There are only three reasons to vote for Donald Trump, you either agree with his disgusting campaign, or you are ignorant of the facts of his campaign and the consequences of him becoming president, or you are a loyal Republican and support the nominee. If you agree with his campaign, then you are definitely in the basket. If you simply brush off what he’s said and done, then I find you deplorable for your lack of empathy for other people which is in itself a grave danger to our democracy.
If you are ignorant of Trump’s campaign and you can’t see the threat of a Trump presidency to the country and the world, then you are clinging to the basket and the moment you cast your vote you are firmly in the basket. Given the amount of free air time and news coverage Trump has had, you would really have to go out of your way to be ignorant of what he’s said and proposed. We have the right to vote, but we also have the duty to be responsible citizens and actually inform ourselves about the candidates we should be voting for. So an ignorant Trump supporter seems to be more willfully ignorant than to be ignorant from a lack of available information.
The 3rd reason to be a Trump supporter is that you are a Republican and the bar simply can’t be set low enough for you to abandon the nominee of your party. Somehow you believe that Trumps admiration for numerous dictators, his bribery of maybe 2 attorney generals, his racist remarks, his anti-women remarks, his ignorance of world matters, his threat to go to war with Iran because their sailors gave the finger to our sailors… all of this and more is preferable to Clinton because she had an email server. That’s damn deplorable!
These are very dangerous times for humanity. A president Trump would definitely speed us down the path of a civilization ending Global Warming catastrophe. Or his ignorance of foreign policy could easily lead us into a nuclear exchange with North Korea, and who knows where it would spread. Or he would most assuredly lead us into another collapse of the worlds economy just like his ignorant Republican predecessor.
So I have to disagree with Secretary Clinton on her assessment of the Trump supporters. I don’t find half of Trump supporters to be deplorable, I find almost all of them to be deplorable.
