54. So we go relentless, pulling no punches

Call a liar a liar, a criminal a criminal, and a traitor a traitor. Do you honestly think saying fucking liar, fucking criminal, and fucking traitor will strengthen our argument among people who don't already agree with us?

It won't. It will exonerate Trump for his use of the F-bomb, and convince many folks on the fence that we are no better.

It may provide some temporary satisfaction in venting our rage, but it will not help one bit in rallying more people to the cause of fighting fascism.

All it will do is lower the national discourse, which is probably what our enemies want.
