Here's Why Conservatives Are Always Saying The Name Of The Democratic Party Wrong

[SunSeeker]

“You know I always say Democrat. You know why? Because it sounds worse.”
-Former President Donald Trump

The truncated “Democrat,” ... “rhymes with rat, bureaucrat, kleptocrat, plutocrat,” Cornfield said. ”‘Crats’ are bad. So you can see why they do it.”

David Pepper, a former Democratic Party chairman in Ohio, says Republicans’ phrasing has “clearly been thought about.” Even so, he doesn’t see trying to erase it as a good use of Democrats’ time as the party seeks to reset the national agenda after four years of Trump.

He said that while President Joe Biden has pledged national unity, “the other side is literally trying to make the other party sound like rodents.”

1. Yeah, rethugs, here's to unity and bipartisanship. Right. I'm waiting.

I suspect I'll still be waiting when hell freezes over.

2. The GOP is the party of juvenile nonsense

They clearly don't have the substance to actually legislate and do some good for the world...
so they resort to name calling. What worthless fucks.

3. democrat party

Dems ( as in dim witted ).

Are all intentional slurs. I think Frank Lutz either came up with the termed or promoted its use

and some in the main stream media have picked up on this

[LakeArenal]

4. I say they use it wrong because they are 50% stupid and 50% assholes.

They can't win the war of ideas and so they have to be assholes.

The party of Rush, Fox, and so on.

8. Anyone remember that Bush ad in 2000 that subliminally left the RAT in Democrat on screen?

I am pretty sure I am not making this up.

[Lord Ludd]

16. Yes, absolutely

Naturally, the Bushies claimed it was unintentional.

9. The GOP is the Party of Stunts. It is all they have.

[Martin68]

13. They feel so clever when they think they "own" liberals. Grade school stuff.

[Shermann]

10. I thought it was the extra syllable scaring them off

Four syllable words are problematic and can be precarious to articulate.

[Martin68]

12. I think an issue should be made of this slur every time it occurs. The conversation stops and the

grammar of the offender is corrected.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

14. What does

The republic party know anyway?

[czarjak]

15. Didn't Rushbo cleverly coin that? So he thought.

[SunSeeker]

17. Nah, as the article notes, it goes back to the 1950s and Joseph McCarthy. nt

[czarjak]

18. I stand corrected. Thanks. Rushbo just updated it?

[SunSeeker]

19. Rushbo repopularized it, resurrecting the legacy of McCarthy. nt

[lamp_shade]

20. Start calling repubs "republicrats" nt
