A week or so ago, I read a diary on this site that referred to Republicans as “Troglodytes.” It occurred to me that this was an insult to actual troglodytes. In much the same way, when people call Republicans “Trolls” it is an insult to trolls (and ask Chris Christie- sometimes an impediment to their work). I started to give it some thought.
What would be an appropriate name for these Cretins- now I’ve done it- I’ve insulted cretins! Baboons, Neanderthals, knuckle-draggers, is there any way I can insult these Republicans and their true vileness without insulting those every day recipients the euphemism that I wish to inveigh?
Then it occurred to me. There is one word that truly communicates just how evil and hateful these people are that does not impugn the integrity of the most vile creatures who do not deserve to be associated with their hatefulness. From now on, let us call the most vile people on earth what they truly deserve to be called- “Republicans”
