And I'll explain why.
Should Trump say that then you're going to hear that word more than ever before. It'll be seen as being ok & acceptable by all of his supporters. Look at what Musk has done with the "R" word as an example.

There's an excellent article of HuffPo about this.

"Elon Musk Has Brought 'The R-Word' Back — And It's Part Of A Disturbing New Trend"

It's not about being scared. It's about being wise.

There's nothing good which would come out of this. Trump's supporters are racist douchebags. They'd literally feel enabled should Trump use that word & feel as though they now have a "N word pass".

I'll take a very hard pass on this.

but why make it worse? Understand that if Trump was to do that his ratings would get a huge boost too. We're not dealing with normal people here. We're dealing with a cult who thinks toxicity & hate are virtues.

Hate crimes have drastically ticked upwards since Trump first became POTUS. I'd like to see that come down & I don't see how it does by enabling Cheeto Balls to say the "N word".

But in actuality, it's a tactic used by them to intimidate others because they can never admit to being wrong. It's a sign of a low intelligence and an insecure person.

there are a lot of extremely conservative church going Republicans who had no problem with William Callie shooting babies in VietNam, who had no problem with the murders of the civil-rights activists in the South in the 60's, or with the Blackwater mercenaries killing civilians in Iraq. But they absolutely do have a problem with cursing.
If someone has friends or relatives like that, and if they won't be harmed by retribution, then they should feel free to "drop the f bomb" in conversation frequently and remind the conservative that Trump said it on national tv.

A lot of these would have been the types of people that would be doing a lynching on Saturday and go to church on Sunday like nothing happened.

not like nothing happened. They were proud of being the type of community where lynchings occurred. They thought that it showed a strong morality in their community, a willingness to punish evil. I grew up a half century ago in Amarillo Texas, people of my parents' generation (although not my family) had attended lynchings. There were Sunday afternoon picnics for people attending the lynchings.

Speaking of Pee Wee German, he'd make a great Jüdische Ghetto-Polizei, Jewish police traitors in the Polish ghettos. Reportedly more brutal than the SS themselves. Here's hoping he get's a one way train ticket like they did.

N*ggerf*ggots (which apparently is a thing among the online younger set). He said that would have been "kino" (which is the German word for a movie theater, but that's not how they use it).

I was appalled, of course, which only seemed to make it more "kino."

(PL: My son and I have a great relationship except when it comes to politics and some of the games he plays, or more particularly, the "bantz," or banter, amongst his fellow players and him. He is actively trying to keep this old bird up-to-date on Internet lingo and culture and technology (at least as much as I can grasp).)
