This isn't the same as when Democrats invented a name for the slave races from poor comprehension, Nigeria to N-word. ( according to some accounts from long after the Republicans ended slavery, rather doubtful scholarship and probably a retcon attempt )
The rude and hateful words applied to groups, like "kike" "n-word" "kraut" "mick" are generally defined as racist slurs.
Different than simply calling your opposition a historic Bad Guys label. In the Byzantine Senate an opponent might be called a Persian. ( it's older rhetoric indeed )
The emotional impact is, or can be, if you aren't a Karen, very different when it's A Hateful Lie than a Slur.
In fact, both "mick" & "n-word" were adopted as defiant humor and mockery of the Establishment that so labeled them, by the groups called that by hateful people. Offending the offenders! "names we can use, but You can't" isn't new either.
I don't feel bad about myself when called a fascist. Why should I? It's not true. I don't feel good will towards Hateful Liars, naturally, but it doesn't affect my self worth.
Now, potato deficient famine jockey might upset me, because of Irish ancestry and my low carb diet limits my French fries intake, but that's just me, and They're too stupid to think of something that clever.
Someone should explain that Useful Idiots are far less intelligent, and incredibly less important, than our hard working environmental service workers.
>>> Gee, hope nothing happens between now and then to convince me I made a poor choice. Like ketamine, or Bath Salts.
I'm thinking you're referring to forced drug overdose by men in black masks...
If so:
You just might be right... Lock you doors. Get big dogs and a small dog. The small dog with alert faster and get the big dogs moving. My brother sleeps with the small dog. I sleep with the big dogs. My other brother sleeps with cats lol.
If not:
Special K is dangerous yo, be careful. And your much too smart for Bath Salts!
And thanks for the reminder to go vote early, I need to do that tomorrow!

I spent the day trying to help an old friend with serious medical problems. When he refused treatment at the hospital, and demanded to go home, I... argued a bit, then told him to wait a minute while I had a cig, ( yes, they are bad for me ) and he yelled at me in front of the hospital until security came out. Security is not angry with me. sigh.
I have fulfilled my civic duty and got my vote in today!
The little old lady committee checked me in, gave me my paper card ballot, showed me once again how to put it in the machine, and after I had voted, made sure I fed it into another machine to be counted.
I'm already past Skeptical and well into somewhat fearful.
I don't believe the polls. Why should I?
There's 2 paths from here, all planned and money primed to pay rioters and terrorists.
A. Kamala* is declared winner, the months of legal arguments begin, and the Democrat Agitprop Machine kicks into high gear, denigrating us Garbage People and arrests will commence. ( I predict Trump's lawyers arrested for going to court, where last time they were simply refused a hearing ) There will be very loud and coordinated calls from ALL Party Media to crush "The Insurrection!".
Targeted violence against Republican politicians and R-friendly media. Those buses are chartered, the rioters ready to get paid.
Instead of burning Philadelphia, it'll be Republican Congresscritters & media personalities homes and offices, that are attacked. They have the useful idiots and paid agitators, they will use them.
I'll skip the foreign disasters that pundits have already predicted. It's the domestic attacks and False Flag Operation to excuse martial law and the constitution cancelled, I fear. Lots of people in jail still from the last one.
Or
B. Trump gets more real votes than the Fraud planned for ( as in 2016 ) and the Riots are On! Antifa, the pro-rape, pro Iranian mobs, racists, commies, the full power of Soros's Hydra and the other Billionaire funded squids of multi tentacle groups, much ink sprayed, cities in fire, all rationalized and advertised as the natural resistance to the Worse Than Hitler ( reg trademark DNC ) End Of Our Democracy ( reg trademark DNC ).
It's not a great tactic to insult the people you want to vote for you.
But I get the political idea that the people who weren't going to vote for you anyway, just don't matter. I don't agree, in several aspects, but it does make twisted sense to not waste time and money trying to convince them.
Insulting half the people, though, that's the kind of mentality that isn't pretty. And that's not just from one side, the Bad Orange Man has certainly done it too. ( the difference is I think he's correct and "they" are lying. And "they" have the mirror image belief... So it doesn't matter what I think )
When they tell you they hate you, believe them. That's their Truth.
