It would go a long way.
They are truly, and openly evil.
Pure evil.
Saying it really wouldn't hurt.
It may interrupt the brainwashing / programming their lemming followers eat every day.
Let Fox and Friends discuss if they are evil or not.

(25,225 posts)Evil Republicans and Republican Corruption.
The Repugs are masters - as is Trump - for labeling the Dems or their/his opponents. It always seems to work for the Repugs and Trump.
It's time that the Dems fight fire with fire and every chance any of the Dems or their spokespeople get - label the Repugs as 'evil' and 'corrupt'.
As the MSM picks this up - it WILL stick.
I like the idea. Now lets get the Dems to initiate this.
It would go a long way to stoke anger on both sides and wouldn't make things better. You and I , and the whole of DU can agree the Republican agenda is evil ; but unfortunately calling it such in public does not help our cause because we need to swing more to logical thinking. Insisting things they may have supported in the past are evil - even if they are wavering will only push them away.
There is no way it forces fox to get introspective - they would just attack and their viewers would too.

In all seriousness, when I heard her refer to millions of people as "deplorables," I saw it as being exactly the same as Romney's "47%" remark. And--the people she was referring to took that label and turned it around. They still _proudly_ call themselves "deplorables."
The D's need to act with some class, and name-calling is NOT classy; it's offensive.

(1,714 posts)that candidate Clinton thought that calling them deplorables was truth also. Sometimes, just because something is true, you shouldn't say it because it can backfire.
