Othering: It runs in the family
To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables, Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.
Also, some people are “irredeemable”. Those that don’t support her generalize groups. So let’s generalize a group!
Bill: “coal people”
If you are a Trump supporter, you are other.

Remember, she said she regrets saying “half”, not “basket of deplorables”. Which means when you apply her “regret”, she regrets not saying ALL of Trump’s supporters are a basket of deplorables.
And people think she apologized and walked it back. She doubled down.

I was thinking of getting a “deplorable” t-shirt.
I think now I’ll go with “other”.
And wear it proudly.

And this from a woman who openly supports racist groups BLM and The National Council of the Race. Additionally, the Clinton a Foundation takes millions dollars from Islamic regimes which treat women as property and the death penalty for gay and lesbian persons. I suppose to mention that is “Islamaphobia”, a supposed more “deplorable” view, according to Hillary Clinton.
