I’d fear the Lord and realize that the supposedly virtuous right has let its mind be dragged into the gutter.

Perhaps that is how Satan lets the right win battles but lose wars. By getting a stealthily polluted mind.

Donald refrained from using the alleged word in his tweet about the matter. If Satan mucks up a place, he can pretty well count on our modern right to be his ad council.

I read a great piece recently on this topic. I understand your sentiment, and I'd have agreed with you prior to reading this piece:

“What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? Over half a century ago, Presbyterian minister Donald Grey Barnhouse offered his own scenario in his weekly sermon that was also broadcast nationwide on CBS radio. Barnhouse speculated that if Satan took over Philadelphia (the city where Barnhouse pastored), all of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am," and the churches would be full every Sunday...where Christ was not preached.”

Hell on earth does not look like the darkened streets of prostitution, drugs, broken men and women. No, hell on earth looks just like the author said above. It looks so good we do not need a real god and we do not believe in one.

I am not disputing the relative vulgarity of the allegedly-uttered word. Further, I am not suggesting that we remove filters. Finally, I don't know for certain how God feels about the alleged word.

But I do believe - as have others much smarter than me - that there is a time and a place for language that moves men to action. Indeed, If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? (1 Cor. 14:8).
