Who they worship doesn't matter. Based on the article, they voted for a brick to be thrown into the window of the elites. It really doesn't matter who that person is, just as long as they inflict damage on the elites who have been marginalizing them for years.
It was a super informative article and I hope people read it, and not assume from the title or read the summarized version like we usually do.
If we keep labelling them 'deplorables', it'll make things worse. We need to reach out and listen while also helping as best we can.
Imo you should recuse yourself from the debate about them then due to your acknowledged bias.
Then you're admitting that you're adding to the problem vs trying to resolve it. I know it's hard but nothing worth doing is easy.
Thing is that tiny d is one of the elite - a nepo baby and Manhattanite. Anyone that wanted to "throw a brick into the window of the elites" by voting for tiny d is not really voting for that, most likely.
