Charles Pierce is tired of the "chin strokers" in the media and elsewhere complaining about the use of "foul language" in describing vicious shitgibbon Donald "Rump" Trump, his crime family, and his regime. He offers a more worthy topic of analysis:
"Maybe the country is full of enough racists, xenophobes, nativists, and angry idiots that it elected a dangerous buffoon to lead it, and maybe that’s a more important subject than whether or not somebody said a mean thing to Ivanka Trump. Maybe calling the Trump voters what they are, based on what they’ve done to the rest of us, is more important to the survival of the Republic than what three jamokes in a diner think of brown people who are coming to murder them in their beds."As Pierce also says, "If you're being civil, you're not paying attention."
