yeah, when hillary called the trump cultists deplorable, and a bunch of people wigged out, crying about her saying mean things, all I could think about is how I have heard that, and much worse, from right wing media, for as long as I have memories. At the time people would say “but she did it as a candidate on an official forum”, or something similar, while her rival was just a sewer vomiting this type of sentiment, and worse, on a daily basis. And all the people who spent so much time calling everyone snowflakes, completely melted down over one insult.
I call them redcap, and have a pretty clear definition, the kind of person who may or may not insist that they’re just bummed about economics or something, but when approached with progressive economic policy react by asking “…but can we still say the N Word?”
