18. Bizarre! Obedient, "polite" "church clothed" political hate speech.

Presume the the tone would change if it were a political rally or car race.

I've never known how many of the people routinely saying things like "the F word" for "fuck" allowed themselves to be aware of the hypocrisy, but I've always assumed it'd be frowned on in church anyway. For those who've had very little to do with conservative society, especially religious, use of obscene language tends to be, was, a serious sin and carried a strong social taboo. Saying "fuck" instead of "the F word" caused people to be ostracized as unfit to associate with.

Don't know how that's holding up now in tRumpworld with a leader spewing obscenities and where "Fuck Joe Biden" is chanted across the nation.
