I agree! I try not to post Trump memes that are just mean. When we do that we are bullying right back, which, as you said, is childish schoolyard stuff. All we really need to do is post news about him. It speaks for itself! We should take the high road to distinguish ourselves from the felon party.

"Trump is inarguably dishonest, crude, sociopathic, narcissistic, vain, lazy, mean, amoral and ignorant - just to offer a few. He can accurately be called a felon, a sexual assaulter, a fraud, a fraudster, a serial liar, a racist, a misogynist and more.

And you are okay with kids referring to people they know using these terms? Depending on their age, several of them are part of common vocabulary. As they get older, several more terms can be thrown around. By the way, as a second dictionary meanings, mine lists bizarre, peculiar and odd among others. I might add strange to the list, too. But Tim Walz standing up there at a rally and calling Trump a misogynist just doesn't have the same ring although I agree that there may very well be a point where it's time to retire the currently favored term at least on stage. I imagine they will have to move on from this early stump speech format soon.

By the way, I admire Michelle Obama and was all in with the strategy of mostly ignoring Trump, but Trump wasn't running. He would have been hard to ignore if he unleashed attacks on the Obamas as the Republican candidate.

Point taken, but the accurate use of the other terms is not like a campaign slogan.
