Democratic Party and Democrat, not Democrat Party
I’ve been noticing an upsurge lately in the frequency of some Republicans referring to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat Party.”
It’s not the Democrat Party. It’s the Democratic Party.
A member of the Democratic Party is a Democrat.
I don’t know what the right-wing imagines might be gained by referring to the Democratic Party as the Democrat Party. The far right seems to think that this terminology works as a pejorative. It doesn’t. It just makes you sound a little bit stupid, and not in a way that makes anyone want to hang out with you.
It’s just silly.
I’m grateful that no-one on the other side seems to have fallen for any mirroring. The “Republic Party” is even more absurd than the “Democrat Party.”
I’ve heard this a lot lately, even on relatively reputable news programs.
What baffles me is why no-one ever seems to correct the person who says it. They just let it slide, and I suppose it’s meant to affect us in some subliminal fashion.
Word to intelligent Republicans, talking-point authors, and assorted blowhards: It doesn’t work.
Inside of insidiously slithering into our minds, it only just makes the speaker seem even more annoying.
Time to retire it.
This has been a public service announcement.
This was calculated. I heard somewhere that it was actually focus grouped. The idea is that “Democratic” is a virtue whereas “Democrat” is a liberal. This has been annoying me for years, but at this point I’m mainly just impressed by the fact that they could get enough people in lockstep on this that folks are starting to do it unconsciously.
I don’t think it matters what you call EITHER party. The whole lot of them do not know what their doing. They are all to corrupt and only interested in their own paycheck to care about this country and the people.
