I’m going to say zero back, this is just actually the thing that most baffles me about trump voters

Have you ever been in a public high school? I can assure you that "piggy" would be viewed as a very mild word choice.

Just because they do it doesn't mean it is encouraged. Any responsible adult who hears kids talking to each other this way would at least tell them to knock it off, and depending on the circumstances, they'd be punished. Context matters. Crass jokes between friends is one thing and warrants one response, while bullying is different and would warrant a different response. The President of the United States should not be modeling either behavior. Anyone arguing otherwise is being disingenuous and should be ignored.

I agree with you; but my point is that not just Republicans have disrespectful kids who use bad, derogatory language. It's a socital problem that includes all groups.

Only one party has a president using this language with regularity. That’s the point.

My kid is in public high school. By the time they are seniors, most kids are not crass bullies. They have language that is crude but they don’t generally make fun of other kids they don’t know so much anymore. Calling someone “piggy” because you don’t like what they said will not garner you any points anymore. In middle school, the “cool kid” could have had the whole class cracking up but by senior year, most kids do not get involved and actually avoid the bully.

By just being a contributor to this forum, I'll I bet your kid is not enrolled in the kind of high school where kids often use foul and bullying language towards adult authority figures and other students.

Any "reasonable" adult wouldn't have elected Trump-Biden-Trump since 2016. You give adults too much credit.

PP here. I agree that he's obnoxious. I can't stand him. OP's post, as well as others' comments, suggested that it's a Republicans' parenting problem. I disagree.

Do you have teens? Piggy and ugly wouldn’t even register at school as being an issue. The language is terrible.

NP. I do. And if they ever referred to another child in these terms they wouldn't see their phone for a month. Do better.

Apparently Republicans stand for lazy ass parenting

Gee...all those high school fights and cursing in majority Democrat cities are the result of "lazy ass parenting" by Republicans?

It’s certainly a problem when parents of any party act like this language is defensible but there’s a lot of it here. Sorry to announce it, but part of being “woke” is recognizing when language matters and can cause harm. And calling someone the R word is simply not something that anyone who’s woke, and I use that term proudly, condones or defends. And only one party is so anti woke that they’re arguing over rainbows and defending their dear leader using an offensive slur simply because it was leveled at someone they don’t like. It’s not radical transparency- it’s defending the indefensible, and they’ve done it ever since he mocked a disabled reporter. He’s the president, and kids are watching. My kid thankfully thinks he’s a joke. Republicans’ kids maybe not so much. Sorry not sorry.

Which fights and cursing are you referring to? And how are you aware of their political affiliation. Can you defend his use of r*tard? Can you say specifically why it’s ok for the president of the United states to use that word?

Kids aren't the problem It's the ignorant parents who continue to support GOP and Dem politicians in an age when GOP and Dem politicians are only looking out for the interests of their wealthy mega-donors. Facts can hurt,

We'll take that as a "sure, no problem" from you then.

It would absolutely be a huge probem at my kids' school and in our home.

Be better.

Nope. I did not vote for him. I've also worked in schools long enough to know many parents across this country have neglected their kids, and we've seen the result in students' behaviors long before Trump's first time in office. .
