I Don't Trust Anyone Who Says 'Democrat Party'!

[Mr.Bee]

We Don't Call Them 'Repiglicans'
We Don't Call Them 'Rethuglicans'
We Don't Even Call Then 'Republicants'
(well most of us don't, I do)
Yet these guys go on TV and it's the same old
Joe McCarthy / Roy Cohn slur;
'Democrat', 'Democrat', 'Democrat Party'!
And they want our trust?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. Not to forget Arizona Rep Gillette calling for execution of a Democratic politician. . . . nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. That one is new to me but basically now all GOP want all of us dead

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Kingman Arizona

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. For suggesting we should protest the piece of shit

Makes me wish most liberals and Democrats weren’t so peaceful after all

[JustAnotherGen]

4. magapubs

Or just pubs.

But I'm like that.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. The "rat" is emphasized and that was the reason for doing it

[Bobstandard]

15. I hadn't made that connection before

But you’re absolutely right. Psycho. Scary.

[johnnyfins]

7. Saying "Democrat Party" gives them away

EVERY TIME. So if I hear someone use that phrase, I respond like Dick Cheney to Patrick Leahy.

[Mr.Bee]

8. A Reganglion was on PBS

Interview and he must've mentioned that term at least six times like it was nothing.
What we say to each other is one thing, but going on National news day after day,
year after year, using 'Radical Left Democrat Party' it just infuriates me!

[usonian]

9. I am not a cult member.

I am not a cult member.
I am not a cult member.
I am not a cult member.
I am not a cult member.
I am not a cult member.

Hard to tell one, eh?

[Mr.Bee]

10. AAcKK!

Attack of Republicants!

[lapucelle]

11. Kaitlan Collins and Maggie Haberman both used the term "Democrat proposal" tonight on CNN.

[SocialDemocrat61]

26. Collins worked at the Daily Caller

for Tucker Carlson and Haberman has been a Trump mouthpiece for years.

[rustbeltvoice]

12. Repukes

They are Repukes. Say it. Repukes.

[Mr.Bee]

14. but they don't puke

they make me puke.
I've called them 'Republicants' since Reagan!
I've called them 'Republicants' because they can't.
They can't lead,
They can't govern,
All they do is cut.

[bdamomma]

21. Correct Mr. Bee

They break things.

[Mr.Bee]

13. I would really like to see

Interviewer cut the mic or the vid feed as soon as a resymbiot uses that phrase.
Just cut it.

[luv2fly]

16. We call each other names

And those names get varying amounts of attention over time. Why let it bother you?

"Sticks and stones..."

[Mr.Bee]

17. It bothers me letting them get away with it

It bothers me they aren't corrected.
It bothers me they don't cut them off.
It bothers me they don't end the interview.
It bothers me they are disgracing Thomas Jefferson's Party.
It bothers me if it were the other way round we'd never hear the end of it!

[ImNotGod]

18. Especially when they claim to be a Democrat. I'm very happy to call republicans fascists because they earned it. nt

[aggiesal]

19. Amen means I agree so here is a big fat ...

AMEN!!!

[bdamomma]

20. They have

Been saying that for awhile, just proves what stupid idiots when they say Democrat Party.

[nilram]

22. Republikkkaners

That's what I call em.

[artemisia1]

23. I have used the term without meaning anything denigrating about it. Republican Party, Democrat Party. It's a non-issue

turned into one by those taking offence without cause. If people now use "Democrat" Party derisively, it is likely because they know you are touchy about it and they are capitalizing upon the ease of offending you. It is more logical to call it "Democrat" party as the "Republican" Party is so called and far less intuitive to lengthen it to "Democratic".

There are better battles to be fought, with much higher stakes than this.

[Skittles]

24. they sound ridiculous, all parroting each other

extremely ignorant and unprofessional

[Trueblue Texan]

25. I do agree not to trust anyone who calls us the Democrat party...

but I have to confess I call them all kinds of things, rethugs, right wing nut jobs, tRump jumpers, all kinds of stuff. No apologies either, but I'm not on the air.

[SocialDemocrat61]

27. It's a sign of disrespect

It's like proposely mispronouncing someone's name. Same is true when they say democrat Senator or democrat governor.

[Buzz cook]

28. Iy's been a dew decades.

No big push back from Democrats and the media won't lift a finger to keep the record straight.
It's part of the language now. Probably take a lot to set it right.

[msongs]

30. they deny us the right to use our chosen name - its systematic re branding and its important

or we will be forever the democrat party as in rat as in sub human. nazi strategy at work

[Frasier Balzov]

31. John Kerry did that in 2004.

I found it a little disheartening.

[Mike Niendorff]

32. Agreed, it's an easy tell.

Fascists always try to redefine language to prevent you from expressing dissent, and to force you to frame your speech in their terms.

Removing the words "democracy" and "democratic" from our vocabulary is not accidental, but the MAGA-Speak does also make them very very easy to spot.
