Problem 2: Are you not aware of multilingual or Russian speaking Democrats. "What, are Democrats stupid or something?", is an implied meaning there.

(2,337 posts)Many Democrats speak Russian, myself and several users on this site included.
There's this thing called "critical languages". This may come as a shock to you, but being able to speak Chinese, Arabic, Russian, and various other languages of our chief rivals is something of an important skill. Weird, right?
Pretty stupid to insult someone based on knowing a foreign language when there's plenty real shit to ding them on.
Also, you sound like an 80s reaganite.

I'd hate to catch it too.

Oh well, as we're witnessing the death of satire in this presidency, we may as well kiss metaphor, allegory and literary license farewell. Weird, right?
(Well, not a literal death of satire-- figuratively. And the kiss is a metaphor. Witnessing the death may be seen as one also, since satire, not being a physical being cannot die. And it's not the kind of license in your wallet... it's wordplay to enhance or highlight an effort )
Elements of Style may be a rather effective and relevant book to ad to your reading list. Good luck!

I don't actually read your droll responses anymore (Your shtick got boorish a couple months back), but rest assured, your devotion to yours truly is humbling.
