    Should she have called Trump a motherfucker? Motherfucker, that’s what she was elected to do.

    We’re sick of it, we’re sick at heart, we’re pissed off, we’ve been frightened every day for years, and we’re perfectly happy to break propriety while fighting back, as a way of demonstrating exactly how pissed off we are. And we’re not pretending.

    Trump’s supporters can pretend it offends them to hear that word, but we’ve seen these motherfuckers cheering in his crowds and we know what they cheer for. We know they're pretending. We knew exactly how comfortable they are with cursing. And we know they love obscenity.

    The list goes on and on. He’s a motherfucker, and fuck him. Investigate, indict, prosecute, impeach, imprison. Rashida Tlaib breaks propriety to speak for all of us. She uses a curse word to tell a deep truth. It’s never been cursing that offended us, but obscenity.

    As our time runs out, he’s actively working to prevent any response to what science agrees is an existential peril. Obscenity.

    He called African countries shitholes. He treated Puerto Rico as if they weren’t part of us and left them to die. He defended the Nazis who occupied Charlottesville. He pushed a travel ban based on religion. Obscenity, obscenity, obscenity, obscenity.

    He’s slashed regulations and dismantled infrastructure designed to protect human beings from corruption and pollution and abuse, sometimes for the sake of profit, other times seemingly just for pure malice. Obscenity.

    He’s worked in broad daylight with foreign powers to subvert our electoral process, moved in broad daylight to obstruct the investigation into it. Obscenity.

    He’s stolen children and caged them, specifically to make us a fearful place for the most vulnerable to come, rather than a hopeful one. Obscenity.

    He’s spent his entire political life attacking journalists, our democracy, and the very notion of truth, and the rule of law, and all our finest principals, while promoting every kind of bigotry. He’s done so to cheering throngs who think this makes us great again. Obscenity.

    Trump bragged about being a sexual predator. Later he mocked his accusers in front of a cheering crowd. Later he nominated a sexual predator to the Supreme Court, and mocked that man’s accusers in front of a cheering crowd. Obscenity.

    Later still, when Biden said “a big fucking deal,” he was celebrating a bill that would save thousands of lives. He broke propriety to show his exuberance. We’re fine with it. Cursing doesn’t offend us just for cursing’s sake. Unlike others, we weren’t ever pretending it did.

    Later, when Dick Cheney told Leahy to go fuck himself, it was because Leahy was questioned the Bush Admin's close ties with Halliburton, Cheney’s company. Cheney broke propriety to show his impunity. Halliburton made billions off the Iraq War Cheney lied us into Iraq. Obscenity.

    When George W. Bush was caught on a hot mic calling a reporter a major asshole, he had the broad support of certain groups of people who treated any use of any curse as obscenity. We expected him to lose at least some support for it. He didn’t. He gained. They’re pretending.

    In this culture we all understand this, really. We’re not really offended by curse words just as curse words. None of us are, really, regardless of political persuasion. Some pretend otherwise to gain advantage. We know by now they’re just pretending.

    Now you might ask, isn’t it hypocritical for somebody to fail to find offense with Biden’s curse, while at the same time find offense with Cheney’s? Or Trump’s but not Tlaib's? Answer: No. It’s not. It’s really not.

    Joe Biden said the ACA was “a big fucking deal.” Dick Cheney told Patrick Leahy to “fuck yourself.” Donald Trump said “I move on them like a bitch” and “I just grab them by the pussy.” Rashida Tlaib said “impeach the motherfucker.”

    But then again … what if grandma was a bit of a card, and that joke was her favorite? What if the 3 year old is wandering into the path of an oncoming farm combine? It’s never the words used. It’s what you use them for. It’s why you’re using them.

    What’s obscene is violating the memory of a woman everyone has gathered to mourn, just as the wound of loss is sharpest, with grotesquerie. What’s obscene is attacking a still-forming psyche with violence of screams. The cursing serves to underline the obscenity.
