* Republicans waxed sanctimonious over Hillary Clinton’s proposition that half of Trump’s supporters were deplorables – meaning racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, etc. Half may be an underestimate, since these characteristics express low-brain tribal drives inherited from our ape ancestors. We all share these primitive drives; but Democrats bridle them, for the sake of justice, more than do Republicans.
* Republicans absorbed the Dixiecrats when LBJ signed the voting-rights act. When we Democrats were celebrating a brilliant black president with his exemplary family in the White House, gun sales to non-democrats skyrocketed.
* Clinton failed to list the anti-scientific climate-denying Rush-Limbaugh sycophants, who overflow the basket of deplorables. How can Floridians vote anti-science Republican while ocean warming and acidification destroy their sea life and rising sea level swamps Miami and salinates Florida’s ground water?
* There is hardly room in the basket for the insatiably greedy who hire lobbyists to bribe Congress for financial advantages benefiting the already rich.
