I don't know about you but I am not one people with any Deplorable.

Outside of occupying the same piece of real estate I have nothing at all in common with them despite Herr Drumpf's exhortations to the contrary. My loyalty and affection are to ideals and not blood or soil.

This is no excuse to become a deplorable; certainly not the solution to their problem.

Prior to the Great Recession I had a 4 bedroom 3 bath pool home in a gated community, a 2007 Lexus which was a year and one half old or so at the time, a small business, and a nice investment portfolio. I lost it all !!! I never became a Deplorable.

I was born working class, reached the upper middle class, and returned to working class and will die that way...
