yeah, the question gets remarkably different answers depending on how it’s asked (naturally) as do trans questions and others. it’s really reductive and misleading to just blanket buy that 80% of the country is in absolute lockstep on trump policies and it will lead to strategic errors in organizing for those who are actively involved in it if they don’t take advantage of what will clearly be growing unrest because they’ve resigned themselves to inaction against some nonexistent mandate

in short, communists should not be taking cues from hakeem jefferies

i never really noticed or cared but now i had to look it up

PG is the lowest rating that allows profanity (usually mild); G formerly allowed very mild terms like “damn” and “hell.” Use of words such as “sht," "btch,” “bastard,” and “ass” are allowed but they will not be persistent or aggressive. Examples of recent PG films that contain moderate profanity include The Long Game, You Gotta Believe and Piece by Piece. Strong, sexual words like “fk," "ct,” and “c**ksucker” are not allowed.

Racial slurs like the N-word are allowed to be used, but only in an educational or historical context (e.g. Disney’s Glory Road). Any other use will get at least a PG-13.

One unique case of profanity is The Transformers: The Movie, when Spike says, “Oh sh*t! What are we going to do now?” (but the particular word is permissible at PG). A few PG rated films up until the '80s included usage of “f**k,” most notably Spaceballs, All the President’s Men, and Sixteen Candles, which came out in 1984.

i honestly think it’s just his contrarian impulse. it leads to like one good thing out of every ten thousand so in between accelerating trans genocide and building resort hotels in Gaza he’ll also talk about developing relations with North Korea.
