I love #Doonesbury with the heat of 1000000 white hot suns. “Democrat” party? No. “Democrat” is a noun. “Democratic” is an adjective.

Here’s a link about that: https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/113085164936664065

@GottaLaff @SoGeneris It’s such a weird childish act — it’s not even a slur, it’s just altering the word’s part of speech.

@michaelgemar @SoGeneris Yes, it is a slur. Read my link.

It is a slur. It's intended that way, and it is.

@GottaLaff @SoGeneris I get it’s intended as disrespect — perhaps I should have said instead that its surface meaning isn’t itself an actual insult, which is why it seems especially lazy and childish to me. When some folks call the GOP Rethuglicans, at least you can see the overt insult. Here, the insult is just in refusing to use the proper party name. It doesn’t even rise to the “cleverness” of something like “poopyhead”.
