Democrats go pottymouth to try to win back voters they've lost

The Democrat party has decided, apparently, that going pottymouth, cursing, swearing, being crude and vulgar, is an excellent strategy to win back voters they've lost.

Even leftist publications are noting the development.

"S*** talking is Democrats' new strategy," charged CNN. And PBS, noted for its far-left agenda, stated, "What the #$@! Democrats are swearing more. Here's why…."

The Washington Examiner cited Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who long has claimed, wildly, that he saw evidence of Trump campaign collusion with Russia in 2016 when investigators have confirmed it didn't exist, as among those who have let their language turn dirty.

"I'm a good Democrat. So my view, of course, is when they go low, we go high, he can go f*** himself," Schiff said on a television show.

That report described the Democrats' language as increasingly turning to a "jarring choice of words" with "increasing profanity."

Strange, the report noted, for "a party that has long touted itself as the adult in the room in comparison to the freewheeling Trump and his MAGA acolytes."

The report noted Democrat lawmakers and organizations alike are lobbing "X-rated comments against Trump," but it remains "unclear how it could translate to winning back key constituents who defected from the party during the 2024 election."

Jacob Neiheisel, a communications expert at the University of Buffalo, told the publication, "I don't think it works necessarily, but I think they're in a tough spot. I think that there is a cadre in the Democratic Party from good primary voters up through good donors who wants to do something, anything, and they're struggling.

"They're really struggling with what a response looks like. And when you don't have any of the levers of power, there's not a lot you can do."

Gov. Tim Walz, the Minnesota Democrat who was on Kamala Harris' losing presidential team in 2024, claimed he could "kick most of their a**," referencing Trump supporters. Joe Biden had made a similar claim about President Donald Trump earlier.

Sen. Tina Smith, also a Minnesota Democrats, has used epithets like "d***" and "a******" to describe those in the Trump administration.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas., went straight into the muck when she told a reporter her message to Trump appointee Elon Musk would be to "f*** ***."

Fox News explained the ideology being pursued by Democrats is what is called, now, "#darkwoke."

Beyond just gutter language, that also includes, the report said, "sharing jokes and memes that wish for the suffering of Trump supporters."

"Though the term is largely an online phenomenon, some members of the Democratic Party are beginning to see some benefits to the 'crass' and 'rude' attitude," the report said.

Bhavik Lathia, communications consultant for Democrats in Wisconsin, said, "Republicans have essentially put Democrats in a respectability prison. There is an extreme imbalance in strategy that allows Republicans to say stuff that really grabs voters' attention, where we're stuck saying boring pablum. I see this as a strategic shift within Democratic messaging — I'm a big fan of 'dark woke.'"

The report cited the fact many Democrats now are "injecting profanity into their vocabulary in response to MAGA and in an attempt at 'authenticity.'"

One orchestrated example was a series of videos from Democrats who all were reciting the same mantra: "S*** That Ain't True."

In the report, Caleb Brock, working for leftist Rep. Ro Khanna of California, claimed it was a response.

Young staffers, he claimed, "grew up seeing extremely vile content overflowing from right-wing spaces into regular spaces."

Democrats now are fighting back, he said, "by any means necessary."

The Tampa Free Press charged, "Democrats thinks swearing like drunken sailors will help," and The Hill said, "F-bombs away: Why lawmakers are cursing now more."

The New York Post cited the "Democrats' foul-mouthed strategy," and The Hill, in another analysis, warned that the Democrats now have gone further, even to "embrace hate speech."
