obleak is willing to say the deplorables are stupid, vile hateful people who deserve to die but he is alone in taking this stance
Those aren't my words nor exactly my stance - it's a bit exaggerated.
It's more like people that shoot themselves in the foot due to their hate and/or ignorance, and/or vote for politicians and policies that they think will only cause others to suffer - it's more that I experience schadenfreude when it comes back to bite them in the ass, especially when they're also causing others to suffer.
Well, that, and I'm also rejecting the excuse that people in red areas feel patronized or looked down on by people in blue areas since a lot of the people I've encountered in red areas will look down on (or even outright hate) just about anyone for any reason.
As for someone saying that I'm "only bashing deplorables because I come from deplorable stock" - If that's meant to say I've spent decades in red areas witnessing and hearing hate against virtually any and every kind minority, not to mention the misogyny, then, yes, I have spent a lot of time and grew up in red areas.
I do have deep appalachian roots from both of my grandparents on my mom's side, but I'm surprised that someone would call that "deplorables stock".
I don't know if they also mean the Boston Irish on my dad's side...
