“Basket of deplorables” is actually a pretty good portfolio strategy. Most assholes are just assholes but some are on to something and it’s typically undervalued because of cloud of negative valence.

Liberal (and true-religious) analog of baskets of deplorables is baskets of misery: doing toxic emotional labor nobody else will to alleviate suffering. It can yield very high spiritual returns if you survive. In both cases, median outcome is mindrot, exceptional is high returns
