  Not really. Trump calling people names doesn’t disprove that others have called him names.

    Sure. Nobody was trying to prove that. However, whining about it in his support is hypocrisy.

      True. To be fair though, I don’t support his namecalling.

        Okay, but they’re qualitatively different. Saying Trump is geriatric, an attempted insurrectionist, sexist etc are sober descriptions of his behavior. The nicknames he comes up with like “Liddle Adam Schiff” are befitting of a preteen on a playground.

        Trump brought us to this level of discourse - the constant juvenile practice of using demeaning nicknames for anyone he doesn’t see as on his side. It has cheapened our politics, like he has in general. What you’re complaining about is labeling. It’s not “mean names”, which seems to trivialize the serious intent in pointing out someone is racist or senile.

        Yet you highlight this:

        Democrats will never stop calling conservatives these things.

        Which are responses to his constant barrage of insults based on looks/race/whatever else he makes up. Is no one allowed to retort now? You can’t bemoan the “MSM” and “Democrats” when he is instigating this shit.

    This is the level of political discourse we’ve sunk to? Complaining about name calling? How pathetic.
