    Curious if the word “deplorables” count.

    I see such disgust coming from both major parties. Feels like either one can easily fall into this.

      I don’t know honestly. Isn’t that one of the castes in India? No that’s “untouchables”.

      Where is that word used?

        It was used by Hilary Clinton to describe Trump supporters. A “basket of deplorables” I think was her term.

          And then conservatives embraced the term and now proudly use it to describe themselves. They know they are toxic, oppressive and cruel and they celebrate it.
