The Deplorables
or
neologisms

I would suggest that those words are added to the dictionary as synonyms for a new noun, deplorables.
So the adjective deplorable would have these synonyms; disgraceful, shameful, dishonorable,
disreputable, discreditable, unworthy, shabby, inexcusable, unpardonable, unforgivable
reprehensible, despicable, abominable, base, sordid, vile, hateful, contemptible, loathsome, offensive
execrable, heinous, odious, revolting, unspeakable, beyond contempt, beyond the pale, egregious, flagitious.

Deplorables would be a noun and the list of synonyms would be shorter just containing “religious extremists,
authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians”.
I would amend that to "some Libertarians", good ones on ponies or giving away ponies are OK.
I would add a few phobes and of course, oathkeeper would be there.
The Oathkeepers are claiming they will be cleared by the very courts they rejected, that's deplorable.
The attack on the Capitol was by those who reject American elections and reject American law.
They need to be identified and charged and held accountable, many will go prison, that is American law.
Breaking the law still matters in America, so does due process, they will get trials in the courts they rejected.
Those who broke no laws will go free, those who broke laws will not.
They are not protesters nor patriots, they are criminals and domestic terrorists.
