  • Unidentified tourists (or identified journalists and politicians speaking for non-existent tourists) get so upset by a “black guns matter” sign that they cry, “Whaaaaa whaaaa!” and flee the town.
  • We the deplorables. (Yeah, not v*ing for Trump, but the identification of who Hillary and nearly every other politician really finds deplorable is spot on.)
