I'm tired of taking the high road.

In life, and in my the majority of both my personal and professional conversations I typically am of a mindset that “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything”. But I am getting tired of that method of communication.

Why, you ask? What set me off? Frank Bruni’s op/ed in The NY Times basically admonishes those (Samantha Bee, Robert DeNiro, and others) for using coarse and colorful language, stating that it will turn off voters, and detract from our message.

I’m calling bullshit.

I WANT guys on my side (who have a platform that I don’t) talking shit. Honestly, I would prefer that it not be from our party leaders (I would be disappointed if, say Barack Obama or Joe Biden used the term “shitholes” in a public conversation), but I don’t mind at all that left leaning celebrities and pundits take this administration to task and use the same thesaurus that those ugly fuckers on the right use.

Even Trump’s personal lawyer is talking shit about our guy...

Says Rudy Giuliani, “Joe Biden is a moron,” he said, claiming that Biden finished last in his law school class at Syracuse University and had been unable to understand issues Giuliani tried to discuss with him when he was a federal prosecutor and Biden was a Delaware senator. “I’m calling Joe Biden a mentally deficient idiot.”

And we’re supposed to rise above that, and take the high road?

Fuck that bullshit. I’m tired of taking the high road.

Yet another thread on how to shut down an argument with a rabid, mouth breathing Trump lover...

On the legality of the Special Counsel and the president's power to pardon one's self (thereby crowning himself God and King of all that can be seen)

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/04/politics/donald-trump-pardon-tweet/index.html

Simply listen to their unhinged and 'unhindered by the constraints of reality' argument. When they have finished and are attempting to wipe the spittle from the corners of their mouth, simply ask "So, you would have afforded these powers to Hillary Clinton as well concerning the email scandal should she have been elected? And what about Bill? Should he have pardoned himself to end the inquiry into his consensual relationship with Miss Lewinski?"

If their answer is yes, they most likely will be embarrassed into silence. If the answer is no, simply point out they are now supporting the authoritarian/dictatorial style of non-representational government they have spent their life arguing against. (You may have to use smaller words so they can comprehend...)

I would love to hear a synopsis of any responses should anyone have a conversation such as this.
