Apparently America's education system has managed to completely extract from citizens is their bullshit meter. Vance did three things very well in the debate: he was cordial; he wouldn't answer questions honestly; and he lied constantly. Why are so many Americans blind to this? Answer: because they are stupid, ignorant and evil, in their own ways.
America as a country would not be taken seriously were it not for the giant and threatening footprint of its economy and military. Otherwise, it's becoming a laughingstock.
Trump claims that America is a laughingstock when he's not in charge. Actually, America is a laughingstock when someone like him is vaulted into power and then has a chance of getting back in power despite his obvious psychopathy and ignorance and his assaults on the rule of law.
I like your response. It brings to mind the Anna Karenina principle: Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. And as there are many ways to be an unhappy family, there are many ways to be deplorable. How many varieties of deplorability are there in Hillary’s basket of deplorables? We need a typology: techno bros, the denizens of Wall Street, narrow minded racists, party ideologues, Fox News addicts, unprincipled news hosts, people who think reality TV is real, misogynists. Not sure, however, that being stupid qualifies as deplorable, unless stupidity is one’s choice.

+ homophobia and xenophobia! At their core, most of these traits are based in fear and hatred of the other.
