Deplorables

The official list of categories of individuals subject to censure and/or "cancellation" (last updated on December 7, 2019, the 78th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a more direct historical attempt at cancellation). (See Call-out culture, Wikipedia's historical review of the current terminology for censure and "cancellation".) Viz...


 * Racist
 * Bigot
 * Homophobe
 * Misogynist
 * Transphobe see, also, related concepts
 * Islamophobe
 * Xenophobe
 * Fascist
 * Nazi
 * Hitler

Note that each of these terms has a related adjectival form.

Note, also, that although Fascist and Nazi are listed, Socialist and Communist are not since these latter two are approved political ideologies. This can have people who know the history of Fascism, Nazism, Socialism and Communism scratching their heads in wonder. Similar considerations apply to the epithet "Hitler", who had plenty of company in the 20th century as the leader of a party of mass murderers (such as, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, et. al.). These other names, of course, do not get used as epithets in the Progressive Movement since they are historically classified as socialists or communists.

Finally, note that it was probably former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who first popularized such a category of deplorables (see Basket of deplorables, or, in more detail Basket of deplorables).
