Oh, there is an issue there, all right. The left is full of smug, arrogant, condescending putdowns of Trump and his "base," with all sorts of rationalizations after the fact. "Oh, I wasn't really talking about you." Well, exactly who in the f-k were you talking about?

Hillary said half of Trump's supporters were deplorable. Which half? "OH, she didn't mean all of them." But she clearly meany lots of them.

I really don't think leftists really understand just how badly their comments go down with everybody outside their bubble. Putdowns may make cute cocktail party jokes at gatherings of the elite, but they piss average people off.

This is absolutely hilarious.

You rail against all these evil pink-commies or smug, arrogant people that make up the entirety of the democratic party, and how evil they are, without a bit of self-reflection that this exact action is exactly what is getting your panties in a twist. You do realize that there are Trump supporters who literally wear shirts that say "Trump 2020 - **** Your Feelings." Do you think that doesn't equally piss off some people? Do you think those people are critical of what Trump does or says?

Trump has a base of people who support him no matter what he says or does. If he didn't, you would see a lot more people condemn his actions and words on a regular basis, especially after he told sitting Representatives, American citizens, to go back from where they came from.

Do you think he doesn't have a group of supporters that support him, no matter what? You're literally arguing that he doesn't have a base that are uber-supportive of the man, regardless of what he does.

edit: even weirder is I said nothing of deplorables, of these peoples' character, just that they blindly support Trump. There could be a million reasons they blindly support him. The only common thread is that they rationalize away his issues and can't be critical about anything he does. There's a reason Trump's support has pretty much hovered at a certain % for most of his presidency - he has a base that sees him do no wrong...
