13. I was called out for the very same thing several months ago at DK

Used the word MAGAt in a response and yes, it was an immediate pounce for demeaning language of others, how we need to be above the fray, yada, yada.

Irritating? Yes. Particularly when you consider the language and constant screeds coming from the right-wing crazies.

But Kos gets a pass from me largely for their outstanding coverage of all things Ukraine. I check their coverage every day. As someone who infrequently posts at Kos, I'm willing to leave the term MAGAt at the door and observe the rules of the road sort of thing.

However, I understand your frustration. For instance, I admire Michelle Obama's sentiment: when they go low, we go high.

Wish that was the world were living in right now. It's just not.
