Who Trump Offends with His Salty Language
Posted March 9th, 2016 @ 12:05pm in #Trump
You know who Trump offends with his cursing?
Answer: Other people.
You and I are not offended because we are awesome, and above it. We dont get offended for dumb ass reasons. But we are quite certain that other people need protection from naughty words. I dont know the names of any of those people, but surely they must exist. And I hope they live in bubbles because the world has a lot of awful words and ideas waiting for them in the real world.
Lets stop pretending that other adults are offended by language. That isnt a thing. We are offended ON BEHALF of people we imagine would be offended. But those people do not exist. Stop imagining offended people. ---->Continued

“You know who Trump offends with his cursing?”
Yeah, they’re called “maturity snobs”.
Oftennded?
Is the language offensive? Whatever. It's not as offensive as what's happened to our culture and way of life over the past 20 years.
Adams has provided very interesting insights to me as well. I’m enjoying his point of view.
It’s not a matter of offending someone.
It’s maturity.
An adult man talking like that in public indicates something is not right, no matter who it is.
Nothing to do with being offended or clutching pearls or the cussed being edgy. (That’s the liberal worldview).
Other than that...
His seeming inability to string together words into coherent sentences causes me mental fatigue.
One of my kids sent me some satire by George Takei, that sadly rings true:
“I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me, and they ask me. They say, ‘What's 2+2’? And I tell them, look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh, my God, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. It's terrible. It's just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way, I love the number 2. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy, but he's like, ‘10101000101,’ on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers, and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. So, we're gonna be the best on 2+2, believe me.”
Is that what you call FR moderators who delete profanity laden posts?
Adams argues there was a method to Trump’s madness and it is the reason you stated.
Didn’t they used to have duels in the old days? Guess you only got offended once back then:-)
If profanity is the crutch of the conversational cripple then Trump is a linguistic quadriplegic.
Pussies?
He surprises us...doesn’t offend me at all. I’d rather get some of the fag stuff off TV and stop giving jenner any more face time. That perverted cr** offends me.

I suggest you read: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/139541975641/the-trump-master-persuader-index-and-reading-list Readers of this blog have been asking me to compile my Trump posts in a convenient index so you can direct others to it. And so I have. Ill try to keep this updated as I go. The fun of it is seeing how early I predicted Trumps rise (8/13/15).

Maturity snobs confuse political correctness for maturity, politeness and civility.
I’m not offended by dog crap, but I still don’t like stepping in it. My issue with Trump’s coarseness is the pointless vulgarities which never seem to have anything to do with the subject at hand.
Call me crazy, but I appreciate large vocabularies and sharp minds that can wield them. Lately, that sort of thing gets a man labeled as GOPe, so I’ll don the flame suit.
If your large tent requires picking up the Vagina Monologue and Kardashian crowds then maybe Trump is a genius.
This blog settled it for me.
I agree with Adams on this:
“Adams argues there was a method to Trumps madness and it is the reason you stated.”
My son, as a joke, imitated trump to his supervisor.
When asked a question he gave the kind of answer he thought trump would give. He thought the supervisor would get the joke and laugh.
Instead, the supervisor agreed with him (which was confusing to my son because he wasn’t sure what the supervisor was agreeing to) And then gave him free reign to make it happen. Needless to say, my son has learned how obfuscation and self promotion can move people in every day life.
There is no utterance more offensive than the last eight years.
Folks that are offended are probably not as outraged about Benghazi or ISIS chopping heads off or the deliberate destruction of the US middle class.
