- Democratic Party. Now it has reached the point where he is calling for the death of elected Democrats who are merely advising military folks not to disobey the law or the Constitution on Donvict’s behalf.

Since Jan 6, 2021, the real seditionists are the MAGAt in chief and his goons.

1. Yep, Newt Gingrich started it years ago and now even the so-called respectable people have taken it up

So we let them deliberately insult us every time they talk about us and don’t fight back for some reason. Because we think it’s beneath us or it’s too boring. I don’t understand.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Two thoughts:

1. Leadership does not understand we are in a fight for the survival of our country.

2. Perhaps they understand this, but have decided to give Trump and pals enough rope to hang themselves.
It is called the long game but it is very hard to watch.

[Walleye]

4. I think it's up to every one of us to fight back whenever we can. Even correcting their insults.

We just let it go like it’s not important like he calls for murdering Democrats and it’s not important. We can’t just take it and laugh it off. It’s not funny.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes, We The People can and should speak out as much as possible.

Yes none of what Trump is doing is funny.
It is deadly serious and despicable.

[malaise]

5. Well the good news is that Americans hate him more

every day.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Maybe this is part of the Dem leadership strategy. It is called gray rocking.

You totally disengage from the abuser.
Let everyone else see clearly who the abuser is.
And people grow to hate the abuser more each day.

[llmart]

6. I have heard some of our Democratic congress members correct them.

But certainly not enough. I can't remember any specific time, but it always caught my ear when the correction would be pointed out. It would be something to the effect of, "that's Democratic party, not Democrat party". I'm a real stickler for knowing how powerful words can be. It may seem like a small issue but it does affect people's perceptions.

[Irish_Dem]

10. It is typical of an abuser, to put down and embarrass other people all the time.

It is second nature to them.

[llmart]

12. Oh, I know exactly what you mean.

They use derogatory "nicknames" for people. We all know that trump does it constantly. It's usually a sign that they feel inferior intellectually to the ones they are putting down. On some level they are self-loathing.

[malaise]

11. Dems should respond way more to Donvict's

use of Democrat Party. Call him out every time - respond to his stupid posts with the correction in RED every time. Laugh at him publicly when he and the rest of them use it.

Corrected - thanks 😀

[llmart]

22. I think you meant "Democrat Party" but yes, I agree with the rest of your post.

[malaise]

31. Autocorrect did me in

😀

[slightlv]

29. I like the idea of red lettering corrections.

After all, aren't they manipulated enough to equate red letters to the Bible's red letter text. That could work subconsciously on them changing their attitudes... just a separate level of reprogramming.

24. Maybe we can say something like, "It is the democratic party, what you are saying is just bad grammer

And it makes you sound uneducated."

[malaise]

27. They'd better respond to this JAGs clown

https://www.facebook.com/LindseyGrahamSC?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWOAHaJRgjWgKdDdSs3Rrg3OUqLGXL56ueSFUBAfJVkGf51Cy8Gy0l0o3XXjF3YaNRAkjz2VpiPciBtfsPbwS1c0xTRx6TzZB8KJ3JXUFHseZfdsMsc1A3goqssIO25snOdx8KOCBhFd-gYqYphzZz91sXVLLQhMx6SWZF5z6ONpQ&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R

Six Democrat Members of Congress -- all with military or intelligence backgrounds -- recently released a video urging members of the U.S. military and Intelligence Community to "refuse illegal orders."
To say that I am disturbed this video is an understatement. As a former Air Force JAG, I take the issue of unlawful orders very seriously, and I cannot find a single example of an illegal order during this administration.
To that end, I believe these Democrats owe it to the country to be specific about which orders they think are unlawful.

[Irish_Dem]

32. I know responses are alway mild and general.

I don’t understand it either.

[llmart]

34. OMG!

I love the person who posted Miss Piggy saying to him, "Quiet Pedo." Trolling ole' Lindsay is fun.

[malaise]

3. I will never understand it

I’d call them and the hacks out every time they say it.
I’d remind them of low IQ Slobby’s inability to say Democratic.
Every time they attack a Hispanic with the ‘speak English’, I’d bring up the Democratic v Democrat as used by Donvict’s et al.
He wants to kill people.

[Walleye]

7. Yes, our people need to bring this up on every talkshow.Not discussing policy like it's going to change anything.

[Wednesdays]

35. I see it even here on DU

Certain members have a knack of saying "Democrat" rather than "Democratic." It's infuriating.

Not saying DUers write it with bad intentions, but whenever I point it out I usually get a response something along the lines of "what's the big deal?"

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Maybe we should label them as well

RepubliCON Party.

With the emphasis on the final syllable.

[malaise]

14. I started using ReTHUGs ages ago

But I am a peon

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Whatever term used needs to fly in polite society - on the news, in speeches.

ReTHUGs is fine for us, but the general populace would grimace and M$M won't use it. To state the obvious.

16. Bwaaah Joe Scum just said that Johnson lied through his drumroll...fuck...

20. I've been calling them.

CONS for years.Newt Gingrich started blaming Dems for decades and using Democrat instead of the Democratic party.

They all have been coming on the media repeating the same lines no matter the subject. Some people have just began to catch on. I have watch Thune and the rest of the gang stand behind Mitch McConnell for yrs going along with every criminal act there is. Especially, not letting Obama seat a supreme. 😡.

[multigraincracker]

21. I call them Publicans. Old word for tax collectors.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. I did not know that.

Obscure except for history.

[PJMcK]

18. Trump wants blood

He wants violence to save himself.

God help us... if you know what I mean.

25. Sure does

[AJH032]

19. "What is the Democrat party? I've never heard of it"

This should be the response every time.

For example: “I’d love to respond, but you’re referring to something called the Democrat party, and I have absolutely no clue what that is.”

[marble falls]

26. It started with us tolerating a jackass, believing the the people are too smart to hand the reins over to him.

28. trump's Fascist Party needs to be called out for what it is.

38. I call the opposition "regressive" or the regressive party

I'm not "name-calling" and I use this is everyday conversation.


I know by general conversation if someone is political and how they vote. For example if they use the terms "Obamacare" instead of the ACA I know that this person is a regressive and votes accordingly.



A few definitions of regressive:


1. becoming less advanced; returning to a former or less developed state


2. (of a tax) taking a proportionally greater amount from those on lower incomes


3. tending to regress or produce regression

A few listed synonyms:
backward, decline, worsen, deteriorating, outdated, primitive, fossilized, rightist, ultraconservative


As far as I'm concerned it's a two way street. It was a long time ago but I was asked if I'm a "demorat". So I asked if they were regressive and backwards.
