Just saw a clip of Benjamin Shapiro saying the R slur.

This is their new thing. Under trump you don't get house or money or food but your neighbor gets deported and you can say the r word again.

Like this is 100% gonna backfire, nobody was asking for this. It makes them look like 14 year old boys.

Espically Ben Shapiro saying it 3 times all smug, he looks like a 14 year old boy whose mom isn't around and he's saying naughty words!

They're losers people hate them and this is loser behavior.

Liberals have been doing it too for a while now unfortunately. They do it because they're trying to appeal to reactionaries.

If they both have a reason to say it then it will successfully re-enter mainstream use, at least among americans. I'm hopeful that it won't infect the UK through shared language on account of people generally having much better attitudes to disability here.
