Raskin to Boebert: Democrat is the noun. When you use it as an adjective, you say Democratic.. As if every time we mentioned the other party it just came out with a kind of political speech impediment like, oh, the Banana Republican Party.

Rush Limbaugh turned the words DEMOCRAT and LIBERAL into dirty words.

Saying “Democrat Party” as a pejorative came from Joe McCarthy then it was forgotten for a couple of decades until Rush Limbaugh picked it up again.

@kairyssdal

Can someone explain why this is a pejorative?

I always thought Joe McCarthy emphasized the RAT in DemocRAT. But there may have been more to it. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/whats-in-an-adjective-democrat-party-label-on-the-rise-people-joseph-mccarthy-democrat-party-george-w-bush-parties-b1808472.html
What's in an adjective? 'Democrat Party' label on the rise

Amid calls to dial back hyper political partisanship, two letters are among the obstacles standing in the way
