Blue_true's JournalHow to refer to some groups.
We liberals have a problem that rightists don't have. Rightists quickly settle on one description of us and every one on the right repeat that exact description. An example is the right calling us "socialists" because we believe that government can and should help people live a better, healthier, more productive life. There are other examples where EVERYONE on the right refer to us by only one description, and nothing gets in the way of them doing that, they repeat it often and in unison and at some point, it puts us on the defensive.
Our side by comparison becomes too clever and fail to refer to the right or to a rightish politician in the most accurate, most humiliating term. An example is congressman Jim Jordan, the most damaging description of him and the one that ridicule him while raising questions about his ethics is Gym Jordan, not Jim Jordan, or any other name. Yet, if a thread is done on him, I see 5 to 8 or more names for him, dammit, call him Gym Jordan in unision and people making tv appearances call him Gym Jordan. Insult him, get under his skin and let people know that he is an immoral creep. Another example is us using the term alt right, fuck that, call them the "racist right" in unision and dare a republican to associate with them. Racist right is the most accurate, demeaning term for them and it lets anyone that may be on the fence about them know what they are. The alt right should become the racist right, fuck how they feel about us calling them that.
Republican Bush to republican Trump.
The Republican Party is like global warming, some Americans are sounding the alarm, but many Americans are too self absorbed or hate filled to listen.
So, Bush gets elected and we think that was the worst storm that we ever saw. But the Republican Party kept rotting internally, and then along came Trump. Can we survive the next republican president? That person's party is becoming more and more unhinged, that seems to point toward the next republican being far worse than Trump (but maybe smarter and more self aware).
