    Deplorable: deserving strong condemnation, shockingly bad in quality.

    Describes exactly how bad they suck.

    Doesn’t say they are not human people, just that they’re the kind of human people we deplore.

      At the risk of more downvotes, all I was saying is that blanketing a whole group of people in a term such as “deplorables” is a slippery slope to not seeing them as human at all. Not saying they don’t deserve to be described that way.
