It's a gop thing. a dig at us without actually saying f'in before it.

All dems call it the democratic party. It's just right wing asshats that say democrat party. Just like they pronounce Iran as EYE-ran instead of ir-ran.

Maybe respond by calling the GOP the "anti-demoratic party". And then shoot down the cancel culture within our party and define it ourselves. A messaging campaign to go on outlets like Fox to counter lies might eventually get their viewers to know how they're lied to all day long.

If they can give us a "cute" little nickname, we can follow suit.

... use that term for the party, and just put up with it with a sympathetic heart.

Republicans are more likely to do it intentionally.
