'Deplorable' and proud: Some Trump supporters embrace the label

[tenderfoot]

At least their honest about it. LOL.



Well, that didn't take long.

Just days after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said half of Donald Trump's supporters make up a "basket of deplorables," some of those supporters are embracing the label.

A wide variety of "deplorable" merchandise is already available online. On the shopping website Etsy, one can find deplorable T-shirts, key chains, car decals, buttons, pendants, coffee mugs and even a deplorable pocket watch.

This Trump supporter sported his deplorable gear at a campaign rally Monday:

5. She was very specific about who was deplorable

The list was rather long -- racists, sexists, xenophobia, islamaphobes, etc -- but basically the people in these shirts are saying "I'm a bigot and proud of it!"

9. It would be funny if not so sad

People who should hang their heads in shame look down on the rest of us decent folks.

6. Why not just say "I'm a racist, misongynist, xenophobe?"

Oh, wait...the t-shirt company probably charges by the letter.

7. Now you know what "Gettin' your hippy on" means. Those cats in the T-shirts are better tuned...

into the politics of this election (and the country) than many here are. Go ahead. Call 'em so more names. Get a bidding war going. See what it gets you.



And I still think Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch is almost as great as the Tar Baby tale.
