Change is here: Dems go from prudish ads to selling ‘sh*t’ shirts


One very quick thought on the Democratic Party’s slide into excremental language on its Twitter account (above) and in its party apparel merchandising.
I don’t watch much TV and was mostly spared the advertising during the 2016 election. But one ad I was not happy about at all aired during the World Series. The theme was that Donald Trump says all kinds of inappropriate things, and “our children are watching”:



Of course, my young children actually were watching when this came on, because the Cubs were playing. I had mostly tried to spare them all things Trump, so I really didn’t appreciate Clinton’s efforts to expose them. But it’s interesting to see the party shift from that sort of prudish scolding campaign to selling T-shirts and sending tweets containing that word.
