    They love "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" because it ends in "Rat."

      IIRC it started around the Reagan/rw talk radio era because they wanted to avoid referencing a good word like "democratic" when talking about their enemies.

      It sorta sucks that it got poisoned like that because "democrat" just sounds like the noun version of "democracy supporter"
