Deplorable is a moral condemnation.
Weird is like, calling them deficient. It's calling them lesser.
Like you know the whole "to be attacked by the enemy is a good thing" sentiment? They have that too. If you think someone else is morally bankrupt, them calling you a bad person is confirmation that your moral stance is different from theirs and could even be something you want.
If you think someone is less than you and they say that actually, you're the inferior one, it stings.
