That only-in-private stuff was already on the way out when I was a kid-we only saw the no-bad-word politeness on TV-and by the time I was in my teens profanity was in the public square and movies along with sex, drugs and rock and roll-by the time my cub was watching TV, there was MTV-we had SAT TV etc, and hubby and I listened to uncensored rock music loud and didn’t hide it from the cub...
Kids have been seeing/hearing way worse than those profane words for a long, long time around here-there is no way to keep it from them in public or private, so there’s no point in trying-look how many parents were shocked all to hell to find out 1st hand what their kids were seeing/hearing when schools were closed and kids were remote learning on the computer-”not in front of the kids” hasn’t been what happens for decades-maybe it is different if you are living in a city, but not in an area with not many people like this...
I think it’s profoundly used today out of peoples utter frustration that they can’t find another word that echoes their distaste of what’s happening to our country...and that lays at Biden’s and Congresses feet.
I know the very few times I’ve used it those I was speaking to knew me as not using that word.....but sometimes it’s necessary to get their attention of the seriousness of what you’re saying....and it does do that.

“That only-in-private stuff was already on the way out when I was a kid”
What you say is true but for one thing it’s different when kids pass along their crudeness to each other, and another when our major entertainers put it out there.
On an individual basis there’s such a thing as adults being a good example to children.
I’m reminded of a poem by Edgar A. Guest:
“I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day.
I’d rather one should walk with me than merely show the way.
The eye’s a better pupil and more willing than the ear.
Fine counsel is confusing, but example’s always clear,
And the best of all preachers are the men who live their creeds.
For to see the good in action is what everybody needs.
I can soon learn how to do it if you’let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lectures you deliver may be very wise and true.
But I’d rather get my lesson by observing what you do.
For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give.
But there’s mo misunderstanding how you act, and how you live. “
Corny, huh?
If said to Hunter Biden, he would smile and say do it. Joe is gonna have to get used to hearing it, he f's up every day.
I don't know what word would be more appropriate to use against Joe Biden. Probably "Impeach you!".
“Biden was met by jeers and profane signs from a group of angry Trump supporters”
Apparently, the writer believes that only Trump supporters despise Biden for selling out America, and isn’t aware that about 30% of those who voted for him want a do-over.
Joe Biden is a vulgarian, and a traitor. Why isn’t Joe wearing a large letter T around his neck. T for traitor!
Joe Biden left Americans behind as hostages in Afghanistan which he promised he would never do.
Isn’t it amazing the Taliban 5 Obama/Biden exchanged for American traitor Bowe Bergdahl are now leaders of the Taliban government. What did Obama/ Biden know at the time? Did Obama/Biden through the Awan family hand the Taliban US intelligence information?
I understand the frustration, I live in NJ. Time has nothing to do with any of this. 2000 years ago Rome was vulgarity but that changed with Christ and the Christians who picked up the pieces after Rome fell.
You won’t ever read about Xoe Stolen’s new clothes in our so-called “free” press.
Aye, but unfortunately they kept their pants up.
