Seattle Democrat and Squad grandmother Rep. Pramila Jayapal is joining her far-left colleagues in their lazy vulgarity strategy. In order to get press coverage and seem passionate, Democrats seem to think that if they swear loudly enough, we鈥檒l all mistake it for bold leadership. Spoiler: we won鈥檛.

Jayapal, who once fancied herself as a policy heavyweight in the progressive movement, is now reduced to and about how 鈥渂ats**t crazy鈥 Republicans and President Donald Trump are鈥攂ecause nothing says 鈥渢houghtful policymaker鈥 like an overcooked insult wrapped in juvenile language. She鈥檚 not alone.

Democrats have increasingly embraced vulgarity as a political tool, with viral clips of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) offering profane tirades during committee hearings and Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Oregon) to accidentally say she wants to have sex with Trump. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) similarly dropped a vulgarity during a House Oversight Committee hearing on sanctuary cities, calling it 鈥渢otal bulls**t.鈥

They all seem to be proud of their vulgarity, using it聽over and over again, because it’s now part of their brand and they’re proud of it.聽They frame this language as 鈥渁uthenticity,鈥 but it鈥檚 clearly a calculated strategy to get media attention without offering meaningful policy solutions鈥攋ust viral moments drenched in outrage.

Democrats embrace cringey vulgarity strategy deemed ‘dark woke’

Democrats embracing profanity as if it鈥檚 a legitimate replacement for governing or even offering meaningful alternatives to Trump’s policies. But it鈥檚 not edgy. It鈥檚 not interesting. It鈥檚 not cool. And it isn鈥檛 convincing anyone that they鈥檙e right on the issues.

And the so-called “dark woke” strategy of dropping F-bombs is not working because it’s so completely inauthentic.

It’s the verbal equivalent of the Steve Buscemi 鈥斺淗ow do you do, fellow kids?鈥濃攃ringeworthy, forced, and completely detached from the voters they鈥檙e trying (and failing) to impress.

“The real trouble with dark woke is that it鈥檚 a plainly false, calibrated attempt at gritty authenticity,” wrote Ross Barkan, a political columnist for . “It doesn鈥檛 mean anything or stand for anything. It鈥檚 not as if Bernie Sanders, drawing tens of thousands of people to his rallies against oligarchy, ever needs to drop an F-bomb to get his audiences excited. They come out for Sanders because they believe in his politics and vision and know he鈥檚 been an honest broker on the political scene for more than 30 years.”

Vulgarity doesn’t work if you have nothing else to say

Vulgarity has become the lazy shortcut for Democrats like Jayapal who have nothing new to say.

Swearing gets you headlines, especially when the press is desperate to prop up progressives losing traction with voters. It might get you a viral clip and applause from MSNBC panelists, but once the F-bomb echo fades, there鈥檚 nothing left. No solutions. No new ideas. Just the same broken nonsense that already cost Democrats elections: trans ideology pushed into schools and gender identity over biology, wide open borders, and policies that protect criminals more than victims.

Jayapal and her progressive colleagues aren鈥檛 even hiding the desperation anymore. This 鈥渃uss like a TikTok teen鈥 strategy reeks of a party still broken by Donald Trump鈥檚 mere existence. Crass talk works for Trump because it’s authentic to his personality. Democrats don’t have personality; they just whine about how we don’t accept how much smarter they are than the rest of us.

Democrats want to seem strong, but it鈥檚 all bark and no bite. Calling Republicans 鈥渂ats**t鈥 doesn鈥檛 change the fact that the left鈥檚 policies on gender identity, immigration, and public safety are wildly out of step with voters. If Democrats had an actual agenda that wasn鈥檛 toxic to the American people, they wouldn鈥檛 need to scream it through a profanity filter to get attention.

Look at me! I cussed!

This is the political equivalent of setting your hair on fire so someone will look at you.

There was a time when Rep. Jayapal tried to posture as someone with policy chops. She gave that up long ago when she realized she couldn’t pass any meaningful legislation. She’s too extreme and more interested in brand building than helping the American people. In fairness, that’s what Seattle voters want: to signal their virtue while not actually doing anything.

Jayapal is just another backbencher addicted to social media clout. She鈥檚 leaning into performative outrage not because she believes it works鈥攂ut because she knows nothing else does. It鈥檚 easier to curse than explain why your sanctuary city policies are a disaster, or why you’re okay with biological boys dominating girls in sports.

Profanity isn鈥檛 a vision. It鈥檚 a distraction. And voters see through it.
