Serious question: Who decided to bring the R word back? I’ve seen it being used everywhere, and while I don’t condone violence, I’d love to slap anyone using it. Growing up it was a swear word.

Where are we seeing it? Twitter?
It's not surprising given that the N-word is so popular on X.
trump destroyed social norms, and now people can be their worst selves.
For measles.
FFS. Why can we never learn? Why does cruelty seem to be the default setting for so many?
Be kind. It costs you nothing.
People who use it grew up on Frosted Lead Flakes and their mothers should be in jail.
He’s now used it twice to insult people on X.
However Elon Musk and his mom do not care about those with developmental or mental disabilities. Just enough to excuse his own actions to throw Nazi hand salutes.
I’m with you on slapping, let’s make slapping great again!
Nobody uses it around me. But I’m a straight white male so that’s probably the privilege showing.
To bad he wants it to be a hate & disinfo megaphone
Disgusting.
2. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You look mentally ill and unhinged in that photo, an escapee from a mental institution
PS: sorry you lost your sib! I lost one too.🫂
I realize people are frustrated and grasping at something to describe the incompetence of this admin but good grief the intellectually challenged community don’t need to be slurred to call out the hate and chaos of the moment
It’s a very commonly used word in Canada
the French crossover for late is “en retard” which might lend an explanation but not an excuse
People who’ve always used the R word also use the N word, and now feel free to do so.
It’s disgusting, hurtful, and hateful.
Sorry about your sister. 🫶🏻
Seriously, though.
LOCK HIM UP
When my ex-fiancé used it against me, you bet it was one of the last straws for me to leave!

What else should we call it?
R word?
*scratches head some more*
Are we talking about the word Retardation?
I can only say that there are people who are mentally disabled and conginitively challenged, but there are also people without a biological malady who are most definitely the R word, like Trump.
Signed a person with a disabled person who passed away the year he should have turned 30.
The example being set by people in power is disgusting and repulsive. Stay strong.
I’m sorry people are replying to you with that nonsense.
It was the reason I didn't buy tickets
It's OK for the #ReThuglicanMAGAt Crowd to use it as the #PumpkinPalpatine deems it relevant! Same as the N word is still Taboo so That's why they use DEI Now!! It covers ALL their Non- White bases!!
At first I thought you meant Racist or rapist. I was afraid I'd need to discover better words for the current President.
I hate that word.
My kids (early teens) cuss like sailors, and I truly don't care as long as it's just family, but I made it clear the R word (and any slur) will prompt an immediate, uncomfortable discussion.
The rich and talented one.
Now they’re brazen enough to use it publicly.
