They easily twisted HRC's term "deplorable" to their advantage:
We need a name that they refuse to accept, something they absolutely cannot stand.
I can think of a few: "Racist Fuckwads", "Russian Sectarians", "Shitstains of Humanity"
Sorry, but I don't believe "Cult 45" is offensive enough to them, and maybe it's better to have a term that dissociates them from the Rump. That way they alone bear the full force of responsibility for being racist fuckwads.
Ideas? Suggestions?

(12,618 posts)Believe me, they don't like it none too much. A huge portion of their identity is wrapped up around the (misguided) notion that they are super patriots. Challenge that or take it away, they get real angry real quick.

(17,984 posts)Maybe "Traitors to America"? Make damn sure they know the context of their traitorous behavior so they can't say something like "I'm a traitor to the liberal ideology of the Obama era" or some such bullshittery.

(12,618 posts)The only thing that prevented it is I'm about a foot taller and an ex-boxer, and this particular Trumper knew it because he's known me for years, so he stopped short of attacking me even though I knew he wanted to. Trust me. It works. Just be prepared to fight or run if you use it, because it's like a magic trigger phrase to them.

As to a name, something about TRAITOR might work, but they actually do support putin over Democrats and the reason is obvious and simple.

(17,984 posts)They delight in being seen as uneducated. But it's interesting that they also use the word "libtard" quite often. I guess there are two ways a person can be stupid: the uneducated but conservative way, or the educated but liberal way.

(52,314 posts)this is the trick the right-wing discovered ages ago.
they keep saying words like "liberal" and "entitlement" with such a sneer and such disgust in your voice that the easily led start treating those words as negative.
was "nazi" a bad word originally? what do you call a nazi so that everyone knows that they're evil?
that's right, a "nazi".
you don't change the word, you change how it's used, presented, treated.
try it "rePUBlican. UGH!"

Side effects of Adderall include: nervousness, restlessness, excitability, irritability, agitation, dizziness, headache, fear, anxiety, etc.
I want to add that another side effect is generally being an assh**e to everyone else too. This seems to be the primary aliment.

At this point, anyone trying to convince me that they "support Trump's policies" can fuck right off. They are full of shit - maybe as full of it as their god-emperor himself - and they can all go fuck themselves for eternity.
I don't need a name for them....just someplace to deport them to...like the badlands or Montana.

I shouldn't be surprised. Was just reading of a number of Trumpski supporters saying it was better to support Putin's Russia than Libtard Democrats. I think these people need to read some of the Russian exiles. Garry Kasparov, for instance, for an opinion on how Putin's Russia operates, how people live and/or survive under the regime.
Because this is flat-out stupid.
Of course, they're following their leader. Trumpski said something to the effect that China had more integrity than Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
Monkey see, monkey do, I guess.
Ugh!

(17,984 posts)With the party's stated intention of outpacing our tech sector within ten years (maybe it was five?). And if the traitors believe that is ok, then tell them they can move to communist China where the per capita income is below $9K and a good portion of that must be spent on face masks to keep from being killed by smog. That's how much China cares about its people. Such a lovely government!

(10,839 posts)I recall reading that on election night while the Russians were cheering and high-fiving one another, they had several equally enthusiastic high-level Chinese officials invited to the 'Hurrah, Break America's Back Party.'
These people are not our friends. Nor are they friendly to their own populations.

(43,890 posts)In July 1941, consequent to the Red Armys defeats at wars start, the position of political commissar reappeared. The commissar had an influential role as a "second commander" within the military units during this time. Their ranks and insignia generally paralleled those of officers. When this proved less-than-effective, General Konev asked Stalin to subordinate the political officer to commanding officers: the commissars' work was refocused to morale-related functions. The term "commissar" itself was formally abolished in August 1942, and at the company- and regiment-level, the pompolit officer was replaced with the zampolit (deputy for political matters). Though no longer known by the original "commissar" title, political officers were retained by all the Soviet Armed Forces, e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force, Strategic Missile Troops, et al, until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

(17,984 posts)at different time intervals and then got replaced after 1942. Now why is it that we are so familiar with the term "commissar"? I've never heard of "pompolit" or "zampolit". I guess it could be because it was carried on by China, but I think of it as distinctly Soviet.
