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 I used to be a garmmar nazi (remember those?) until I realized a sizable portion of the language abuse was a deliberate power grab.

White men in the US are aberrantly illiterate. The example Republican officeholders set for our students is blatantly ugly. Conservative party, my ass....

@janisf This isn't illiteracy though. Read the link. It's a slur.

I love grammar nazis!

@GottaLaff I'm positing the relative illiteracy of US men & boys is partly a gender power problem--that too many men in leadership consider themselves above? using the language "the rest of us" use, including picking up a book, and that though not true all time, "boys will be boys" is applied to literacy deficits.
