You can’t educate dummies.

This statement is racist.

No it is not, unless saying "Russians are smart" is "racist".

You can not read English effectively. Work on it and stop with the ad homs.

Which means, most probably you never been to Ukraine or Belarus, but you mock or hate them simply for the fact of belonging to their nation. Congrats, this is what nazis during WWII did. What people like you still do.

Well, it doesn't usually take much time until one starts talking about nazis in a debate, does it? But I'm sure the pro-EU Ukrainians who ousted their legitimate president in 2014 would be very proud of me if I were a nazi, though... https://hoaxeye.com/2014/12/22/nazi-flags-in-ukraine/

I'm quite sure Russian Nazis with official party would be proud of you even more than freaks from staged photo:

FYI, I am Russian myself, I've been to Ukraine many times, and the only problem I spotted is proximity of Russian regime and Russian occupation. And of course, St.Petersburg Lahta workers like you.

And he has lifted them up.” As you can read, the "basket of deplorables" refe…

here is a better example than her deplorables gaffe. when Hillary's own campaign manager says in private that Hillary hates everyday Americans, that goes way beyond working class--we're talking 50% of the citizens. voters aren't stupid. they can sense when a politician is full of BS and hates them. that's why they didn't vote for her. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/4433 "On Apr 19, 2015, at 4:20 PM, Joh…

In case anybody else stumbles on this thread, I'd highly encourage reading the actual email chain. In context, it's clear the meaning is "hate the phrase 'everyday Americans'" - perhaps because it's been overused. This is a speechwriting discussion.

Context and thinking about things- they're important! You really don't need to rely on this stuff to criticize Hillary Clinton, of all people, for being out of touch. Honestly, it almost comes off as downright malicious sometimes.
