<p>In her 2016 losing campaign to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton referred to half of Trump voters as a “basket of deplorables.” That outlandish statement was appropriately greeted with a major pushback and harsh criticism. BUT her opinion has been the core of Democrat strategy ever since. </p>



<p>While GOP campaigns largely focus on issues and the Democratic Party hierarchy as instruments of policy, the Democrats have set their sights on the main street and country-road Republic voters. John and Jane Q. Citizen, as it were.</p>



<p>The demonizing of half the American electorate is divided into two basic attack themes. ; Trump voters are either evil or stupid – or both.  ;They (we) are a basket full of insurrectionists who are – with malice of forethought – attempting to bring down the American Republic by force – by coup.</p>



<p>Clinton did not just call millions of Americans “a basket of deplorables,” she got very specific in her mendacious mischaracterization. ; ; “They are racists, sexists, homophonic, genophobic**, xenophobic, Islamophobic &#8230; you name it.”</p>



<p>(**genophobic? ; While that is what Clinton said, most reports – and even closed captions – omit that reference – assumedly as a favor to Clinton. ; That is because in her rant and rage, she had no idea what she was talking about. Genophobia is fear of &#8230; I am already laughing &#8230; fear of sexual intercourse. Not something she ever accused her husband of. Maybe she mispronounced and meant genuphobia &#8230; fear of one’s knees or kneeling. ; OR &#8230; gynophobia &#8230; fear of women. ; What every she meant, it was a basket full of bullsh*t. ; But I digress.)</p>



<p>Democrats describe Trump voters as dupes and cultists willing to do Trump’s bidding with mindless obedience. At times you would think they are critiquing a zombie movie – and in some cases, they actually refer to Trump supporters as being zombie-like. That is when they are not referring to them as fascists or Nazis.</p>



<p>In the Democrat’s kindest descriptions, Trump supporters are gullible low information voters. ; We are incapable of making an intelligent decision. ;</p>



<p>We also cannot understand what we experience today when we go to the grocery store or pay our bills. ; We are doing great economically they tell us, but we are just too stupid to know it. ; How we “feel” is just wrong. ;</p>



<p>Those who say they are worse off under Biden are beyond ignorant. ; We suffer from what they have dubbed “Trump amnesia.” ; In other words, we cannot determine what we experienced in the past. ; We only THINK the country, you and me, were better off under Trump.</p>



<p>Understandably, we are starting to see some pushback against this demonization of millions of wonderful Americans.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Democrats war on (half) the American people may be backfiring
