I've been driven inexorably toward these conclusions about the Deplorables:
1. They're untroubled by Trump's racism because they're racists.
2. They're untroubled by Trump's fascism because they're fascists.
3. They're untroubled by Trump's antisemitism because they're anti-semites.
4. They're untroubled by Trump's treatment of women as property because they believe women are property.
5. They're untroubled by Trump's lack of religious beliefs, because they don't believe either, not even the Evangelicals.
6. They're untroubled by Trump's connection with Putin because they want the world to be the way Putin wants it.
