Republicans have been using the word democrat as an adjective to demean democrats (noun). It seems impossible you don't know this, but you have now been told by many people.

If you insist on continuing to use it, it will not be because of ignorance, it will be because you don't care that you are insulting democrats.

It's hard to imagine you want to stand your ground on this one. It is an insult. Your choice, I guess.
