I dunno why people are upset about this. I see the majority of people complaining about Dems "taking the high road" and avoiding dirty tactics like the Republicans take. "They should take the gloves off and get dirty on the low road", "fight at their level!" I read.
Then as soon as Crockett does take one glove off and makes one borderline offensive comment the reaction is largely, "ugh, no need to be ableist".
Guys, what the hell do you think the 'low road' is?
It doesn't start at breaking the law and blocking supreme court noms, it starts at political midslinging, and the dems are getting "wow that's going too far". Lol. They will not escalate to a higher level of personal risk such as breaking protocols and laws (as the R's do) if they're knocked back at the first rung. They see the public has a preference: protocol above results.
(I'm about to get replies about how mudslinging needs to be carefully crafted to avoid any offensive terms to any group now. Be real. That is not always possible)
There's no reason to take the "Low Road." Dems dont have to get down in the mud, and lie, cheat, and steal to win, they just have to play HARD BALL, and force the Republicans to follow the law, the rules, ethics, and especially the Constitution.
It would have been really helpful ifntheyd started doing this during the Bush administration, and not waited until the MAGA Nazi Criminal Emterprise had alreadybwrecked and stolen nearly everything, but they can start now.
And part of playing Hard Ball is dehumanizing the MAGA Nazis by applying insulting knicknames. Itbwill be more effective against them because they are treasonous criminals, sonthe names really stick.
Some suggestions:
HitlerPig or Agent Krasnov
Couchfucker Vance
Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller
Steve "Unwiped Asshole" Bannon
Lauren Boobert
Empty G
Big Booby Bondi
Goldigging Whore (applies to several, but specifically the Press Secretary)
Nazis (applies to all Republicans)
Pedophiles (applies to all Republicans)
Criminals (applies to all Republicans)
Most important of all:
Traitors (applies to ALL Republicans)
The only one I can't get onboard with is Leavitt's. That's no way to talk about whores, comparing them to her. Have a little decency!
