To All You Irredeemables in The Basket of Deplorables

You represent what America once was, hardworking, loyal, dedicated family oriented folks. You no longer fit into the mold of the elite liberal progressive view of "who we are" or "what we represent".
I, for one, do not appreciate it when Hillary or Barack (or any left leaning politician) remind me of "who we are" or "what we represent". This is simply because I do not share their concept of the matter. They may convince those less informed but I think their views are so far removed from ordinary citizens as to be unrecognizable.
For example, a recent survey showed that 65% of those surveyed (white working class) supported stopping mass immigration, providing American jobs to American workers, preserving America’s Christian heritage, and stopping the threat of Islamists.
There is no reason to believe that this sentiment would not apply to other groups of working folks.
What a protectionist, xenophobic bunch of deplorables! But, this is America albeit with a conservative bent! They do not support Global integration as expressed by President Obama or a western hemisphere completely free of borders or trade barriers as dreamed about by Hillary.
Those surveyed feel a loss of status. Some are concerned by their loss of political status. Others were more frustrated by their loss of social status while many feel like an afterthought.
If the politico’s would try to understand the people and represent their interests things would work much better. But they do not because they have their own concept (dictated by lobbyist who are paid by the donor class) of what America should be.
You deplorables and other traditional Americans are so out of sink with the politico’s that they want to replace you. They want to replace you at the voting booth, replace you in the workplace and otherwise diminish your voice as it relates to determining what 'we" stand for and believe in. They will do this via crony capitalism (1), immigration policy (2), trade policy (3), and divide and conquer tactics (4).
Folks, just keep doing what you are doing and you will shortly see that you no longer matter. See (4) for a reminder.
You still have a choice as to the direction of the country but, depending upon your decision, you may not in the future.
Notes:
1. Just examine the relationship between the government and big banks (Wall Street), the defense contractors, insurance companies and other hugh businesses. The executives of these companies are part of the donor class and they are in and out of government constantly. Who do you think the politico’s are listening to?
2. Liberal immigration policies for anyone and their family members without regard to the needs of our citizens and an unrelenting effort to confer citizenship upon illegal residents. Too many of these immigrants are unskilled and less educated than the general population. They represent your replacements at the polls.
For a through analysis of our immigrant situation see this:
3. Trade agreements that benefit those businesses in (1), but are harmful to many ordinary citizens. Such agreements along with technology have made labor an international commodity not unlike oil or pork bellies. It maybe that the commodity stature of labor was inevitable and, if so, we have failed to properly educate or retrain our citizens for more skilled jobs while the big companies benefited from cheap labor and materials.
4. Convince groups that only FedGov can look out for their interests, e.g., labor unions, immigrants and minorities. These and other groups have voted overwhelmingly for democrats for generations. It just goes without saying.
Once groups are thoroughly convinced, they can be ignored between elections because they would not vote for the other party under any circumstances (regardless of a candidate's color, religion or non religion or policy positions).
And That’s that!
