Democrats are embracing the f-bomb in congressional campaign messaging as they seek to tap into their party’s anger.
In recent weeks, a number of newly launched Democratic hopefuls for key House and Senate seats have pledged to “unf‑‑‑ our country” or have urged their party to “drop the excuses and grow a f‑‑‑ing spine.”
The ads are indicative of the rising temperature in American politics generally, but they also underscore the ways politicians are trying to resonate with base voters, many of whom have expressed frustration with Democratic leaders.
“I think that in the case of the Democratic candidates … the swearing reflects their sense of crisis,” said Michael Adams, a lexicography expert and author of the book “In Praise of Profanity.”
“There’s just a point at which the usual vocabulary will not be sufficiently expressive in the moment,” Adams said. “I suspect that this is a ‘no, I really mean it,’ type of emphasis … All of the niceties, all of the conventions, all that stuff — we have to put that aside because the situation in which we find ourselves is so dire politically, culturally and historically, that we just need to act.”
Democrat Nathan Sage last week launched his campaign by decrying that farmers have been “f‑‑‑ed over” and vowing to “kick corporate Republican [Sen.] Joni Ernsts’s a‑‑” in the midterms.
A spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) hit back, arguing that Democrats “seem obsessed with saying ‘f‑‑‑ing’ and ‘a‑‑’ as the strategy to win back the voters that rejected them in 2024.” They pointed The Hill to examples of sitting congressional Democrats leaning on the language lately.

Cursing used to show you a person was born as White Trash. Then the Hippies of the 1960s took over to make it popular. Then the new movie ratings (GMRX) in 1969. Now everyone in the movies uses the most vile language to communicate, and generations born since then must think it makes them “manish.”
No, they are still WHITE TRASH.
I’ve already said it: “”Profanity is the tool of the inarticulate m****f****r.”
That is precisely what President Trump is doing.
F’n Democrats.
When ayou have no reasonable argument, there’s always spluttering obscenities to fall back on.
For the democrat base, the f-word is a basic. check out their comments on X and facebook.
Getting the message out.
Democrats have already plummeted through the debased floor and are heading for whatever lies beneath that.
Yep, since the election, they are a bunch of really p*ssed off MOFO’s, and they aren’t going to take it anymore!
Some people seem to try to use the f-word in every sentence. Some multiple times.

You just sprinkle it over anything you say, and wham-o! You’ve got yourself a spicy sentence sandwich.
That’s right.
Indeed.
A brief foray over to DU demonstrates that all too clearly.
All they seem to know how to do is verbally crap all over everything since they can’t literally do it.
Not really.
I’ve watched some police body cam videos of traffic stops involving drunk drivers.
Generally, they’re somewhat civil.
Until the cuffs go on. Then their vocabulary deteriorates to a dozen or so choice words of which the f-bomb and variants thereof, play a major role. It’s like they’re trying to defile the LEO’s, who are often just laughing at them.
It’s disgusting but not limited to Democraps.
So fixing the damned roads only went so far, I guess.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. (Luke 6:45) Profanity and vulgarity - which wanton use increasingly abounds today - is akin to passing gas in close company: while it can gain attention, it provides about the same positive enhancement. Why must one invoke the authority of God for one’s wanton speech, or allude to the bathroom or bedroom every few minutes? I have enough to deal with in my own heart.
