Profanity Won’t Save a Party That’s Out of Coherent Arguments
PJ Media ^ | 10 August 2025 | David Manney

Posted on 08/11/2025 10:01:53 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Once, not too long ago, people with ideas aspired to enter politics by presenting their ideas, which were debated during rallies and speeches. Worthy candidates laid out a map to follow for election, and voters judged the best route. Within the past year, many high-profile Democrats have replaced maps with megaphones and words that would make World War II-era merchant marines proud, remaining confident that their volume equaled clarity, while anger equaled authenticity.

Although rhetorical shifts such as these grab attention for a single moment, the speakers never learned the lesson that attention without persuasion turns into nothing but a noisy treadmill.

Profanity signals emotion, and emotion sells in an algorithmic marketplace. Strategists, using lessons learned from trials long ago, know that a jolt of outrage can feel like action, an addictive sensation during tight news cycles, especially when news cycles are particularly tense, as when a party struggles to articulate fixes for inflation, border security, urban disorder, and classroom decline. Microphones amplify syllables because a governing coalition needs sentences that add up to a plan.

As long as they have followers willing to resort to violence they will have power!

They’ve never had a coherent argument. Only lies and deception.

Crockett’s a fraud.

Benny Johnson’s 12 and a half minute vid on the subject.

Crockett is worse than the queens shoplifting at Dillard's. Same outrage when confronted. It's just a matter if scale and dollars involved. Those who refuse to self-reckon in their personal choices, conduct, behavior, and contempt, are certainly those to remove from our charge.

Be gone, ratchet hoochi-race hustler.

In a strange way it's reassuring to watch these Democrats shouting obscenities and making ad hominem attacks because it shows how bankrupt they are, morally and intellectually, as we have always known, but also politically.

The more they reveal themselves the more people flock to MAGA. Keep 'em talking, even though they make you want to take a bath.

Show me a man whose speech consists primarily of profanities and “crutch” words and I will show you a fool of the highest order.

You’re right, Bear. And the Democrat Party is the party of fools.

Jasmine shares something with Kamala Harris; they are both stupid. It’s not cricket to say that anymore, especially about women, and doubly so for non-white women. They are both just not smart at all. In fact, they are not even average.

I don’t know about them, but their voters certainly are. And maybe they are smart enough to know just how stupid they are.

I think their followers have been cut of of funding. There won’t be any more rioting

Let’s get real, we’re having to constantly pretend someone else doesn’t do that on a regular basis. Libs were always this way, then someone else came along and normalized it everywhere.
