I have a theory regarding the deplorability of Trump supporters. Obviously, not all Trump supporters are deplorable. My mom is a Trump supporter, and there’s nothing you can do to make me believe she’s a deplorable person nor can you do anything to make her think I’m anything but perfect. But are there some pretty deplorable people who do support Trump? Totes Mcgoats. When a candidate attracts some of the worst people (think David Duke), it shines a shadow on the normal average Trump supporters who are simply misguided but are decent human beings. It also doesn’t help Trump has pulled some doozies as well.
Basically, because of the Deplorables, Trump supporters can’t have nice things.
The best example to support my theory is the case of Jennifer Mau and her seven-year-old daughter’s experience at a Colorado Trump rally in Loveland. Jennifer attended the Trump rally in hopes of learning more about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his stance on disabilities, an issue that matters to Mau considering her daughter has several disabilities. Born without a jaw bone or ears, she’s on a feeding tube to live.
“I just wanted to see what a rally would be like because I’ve watched them all over the country.”
Mau sat with others who had disabilities; however, she only made it into 20 minutes of the rally before she decided she was not impressed. While leaving, she caught the attention of Trump supporters around her who questioned why she left. She was asked, “Why are you leaving?” In response, she responded, “I said, ‘Why are you here? He makes fun of people like you.'”
As she tried to walk away, one supporter followed her and screamed at her that if she actually loved her daughter she would vote for Trump and that Mau needed to get educated because Trump didn’t mock anyone on purpose. Mau told KMGH she was disgusted by the experience and that it made her “want to vomit.”
Secret Service had to escort Mau out.
Mau is not the only one who needs to vomit after hearing about this experience. No one deserves to be harassed especially a mother with a child with disabilities who just wants to try to understand the really shitty candidates we have running for president. Mau told KMGH she doesn’t really care for either candidate, and her family is undecided as to who to vote for.
She did note, however, that many people told her that her daughter was beautiful (and she is) as she was being escorted from the rally.
This is why it’s so easy to believe all Trump supporters are deplorable. I, of course, know my mom would never do this. However, this is such an ugly thing to do that it casts a bad light on all Trump supporters in whole.
