I mocked the hypocritical outrage over the "Deplorables" comment, but in reality the whole thing is a red herring. Trump's voters hate Clinton with the ultraviolet intensity of a thousand suns, and would have found or invented something else to be livid about. A whole industry has existed for decades over manufacturing Clinton outrage; some warranted, some not, and some of it outright fantasy. "Deplorables" was merely a target of convenience.
