If handled properly, their echo chamber will be the only ones who pound this message. But, if it's not this, it will be something else--because they always have to be angry at something. So, we should ignore what Republicans think. They are debased and are mostly unsalvageable. If some switch sides, they will need to make that decision when they are good and ready, and the use of mofo won't be the deciding factor.
We should concentrate on everyone else, who still has free thought.
Most of use use that word, from time to time. I believe it was said in a bar, so it wasn't like when Trump says it on a stage.
That being said, while it shouldn't be used more than once or twice, its use can be a positive to further show contrast between the hypocrites and those who are not Republican. The Scottish song says it best, "Oh, yell take the high road and Ill take the low road, And Ill be in Scotland afore ye..." Some Dems need to take the lower roads to head off the traitorous Trumpsters.
That being said, if Speaker Pelosi doesn't chastize her, then Rep. Cleaver should probably not tell her she's wrong! He should have used less concrete words. Wrong offers no latitude, no nuance. And I believe it was wrong for him to state that!
