Today, one of my female neighbors called another the "C" word

How the fuck did we get here? How did the fuck did most of us allow a beast to debase us?

A woman proudly proclaimed that she voted for Trump.

And when she said it, another neighbor called her a stupid C-word.

The Republican Party has spent decades destroying who and what the rest of us are.

Now, they have turned us against each other in a dangerous, murderous way.

They are a threat to a civilized world. They have crossed over to the dark side. They are a threat to the entire wold.

And that all starts with one woman, for political purposes, calling a neighbor a cunt. (I know it's a "forbidden" word, but it happened, it's true, and it shouldn't be censored.)

It was once the one word that would make me insane with fury, but no more. It's just a word.

and it's so pervasive in movies, tv, music etc, that most words have lost the impact. That's one of the few that hasn't.

Frankly, that two-word phrase would be the first thing to cross my mind also if a female "proudly" declared support for MF45. If it were a male, I'd think "stupid asshole", but that word is overused and not as meaningful.

I agree, it's a shame that tRump and the MAGAts have brought this out in people. I dislike the Bush's, and Raygun, think Cheney and his vile daughter are Satan's spawn, and yet somehow MAGAts have caused me to truly despise and hate them and their idol more than anyone else. Ever. I don't like feeling that way.

Also, I love the word prick to describe a certain type of man. And dick to describe another. And yeah, they are different & sometimes they overlap.

I could not care less if someone called me the C word. I’m not reactionary.

I would find if my name is Karen, way more insulting than by a single stupid purposely incendiary word.

I am extremely liberal when it comes to "words", but even I was taken back by the copious use of the C word in that show.

proudly claims such people as one of their own, is definitely on the way out in this Country as demographics and the shifting make up or the population continues to change, regardless of what these thugs want or desire (an all white overwhelming majority, with no minorities allowed etc.).

These people are nothing more than bullies, and that's it.

They always run at the first sign of any organized effort to refute them.

It's kind of pathetic for they (the trump supporters) have bought this all upon themselves by continuing to verbally abuse other Americans simply for their support of a non trump candidate. Really classy, eh? What do they expect when they in turn, loudly complain to anybody that their rights are being trampled? No one is listening anymore since they seem to moan every time anything is perceived as 'taking their rights away', etc.

These trump thugs have awoken the beast (us) by continuing to abuse and poke fun for their pleasure at the beast and the beast isn't pleased. Poke it too many times and it turns on them with a barely restrained anger and contempt. I think that we can see this everywhere across the Country by the massive number of voters flocking to the polls, to throw the thug in the WH out, with a massive show of numbers voting against the POS in the WH.

I am getting ready to go vote proudly here. I can't wait for the good feeling to envelope me as my sacred duty as a voter is over and done with. But, once our duty is done, don't put away all of our tools, we might have more work to do, to ensure that Mr. Biden gets into office, safe and sound. I wouldn't put it past these trump thugs to cause more mayham and chaos.

Different country, I know.

I remember needing to ask a woman years ago what the c-word meant, when she was acting like it was the equivalent of the n-word for AA's. I'd never even heard it used!
