God, what a fucking idiotic thread, and I don’t just mean the stupid spelling errors in the title.

The whole premise of the thread is, basically: “Hillary gave a list of things that are deplorable. I don’t believe that i fit any of them, but i dislike her for other, unrelated reasons, so i’ll dishonestly pretend that those are part of her ‘basket of deplorables’ and use that as an excuse for some pathetic attention-whoring.”

No surprise that **Clothahump** jumped right on board.

Who are you going to vote for in November? I presume not Hillary. I presume you’re going to put your country at risk by voting for a hateful demagogue, a know-nothing incompetent xenophobic bigot, because you’re afraid that Hillary is going to come to take your precious guns. Sounds pretty deplorable to me.

Well Obama was going to do it for eight years. Clinton will probably just do the same damn thing.

There’s a reason Glenn Beck makes an excellent living from the advertisements on end of days bomb shelters to redneck imbeciles, and why gun manufacturers make a mint selling tough manly men all the guns they need to protect themselves against all the threats that surround them in this big scary world of ours, who talk really big about “come and take muh gun” to no one who is actually coming to take their gun.

Well, sure, now that Obama’s packed the Senate with NRA-controlled Republicans.

Perhaps the OP is just comprehension-phobic. Or given the thread title, spellophobic. Typophobic, maybe?

Give **MacTech** and **Clothahump** a break, they’re understandably concerned about being deplorable. Trump had promised them that only Mexicans would be deplorted.

Not Hillary, but not trump either, I’m trying to figure out which is the lesser of the evils, who would damage this country the least, we’re screwed either way, and not voting is not an option either…

If this election wasn’t so critical, I’d vote Vermin Supreme

She put only half of Trump supporters in the basket of deplorables. If you’re not a Trump supporter there’s another reason she wasn’t talking about you.

I don’t get the pride. I went on FB today, and one of my “friends” said he was a proud member of the basket of deplorables. I remember when you had to hide the fact that you were a racist, homophobic, ignorant bigot.

Now racist, homophobic, ignorant bigots stand proud. Maybe that’s a good thing, because I know instantly who to avoid (the RHIBs).

That’s just silly. Despite all the Republican hyperventilating, Hillary is a boring, standard American corporatist, and about as safe a choice you can make if you want “no change”. Trump’s an incompetent, irrational con artist and bigot who ruins pretty much everything he touches.

There’s no contest as to who would do more damage, it’s Trump by light years.

You say deplorable, I say they’re adorable.

Hey **MacTech** , Hillary’s not coming to take away your guns, but I’ll have one. If you’ve got spares, that is. I mean, you can really only shoot up to maybe two at time, right?

Actually, while often not accurately reported, the full quote was:

“Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.”

I don’t know the OP, so I’ll leave it to him as to whether any of those particular shoes fit.

**Clothahump** never seems to understand that the idea of the Pit is to insult _other people_, not to make yourself look like a total idiot.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him post here without making himself look bad.
