Anger with the current state of the country needs to be translated more clearly and emotionally in the political sphere. Politics has become a much more hostile game under the Trump administration, and to truly serve their constituents, politicians must express more contempt for the status quo, including the use of explicit language.

When discussing the current state of America, it is common for individuals to drop a few, if not many, vulgarities. Some politicians can’t share in the satisfaction of candidly reacting to outrageous situations with profanity, as they are always expected to maintain a poised and collected attitude. However, some circumstances are so outrageous, a break of character is required for anger to be adequately expressed.

Among these circumstances is a sitting president who incites violence and slander toward those he disagrees with, is accused of conspiring with foreign powers to attain said presidency and understands virtually nothing about how the government functions. Newly elected Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, shared her outrage on the situation with an uproarious crowd at a swearing-in party Jan. 3.

“When your son looks at you and says, ‘Mama look, you won. Bullies don’t win.’ I said, ‘Baby, they don’t, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherf—­—r.”

Despite backlash, Tlaib said she does not regret the statement when questioned by TMZ reporters Jan. 8. She placidly coined the comment as a moment of passion and further insinuated there is a gross double standard for women in politics when it comes to expressing disdain.

Outcry over such comments has never been about punishing obscene language. Tlaib’s comment falls among some of the nicer ones targeting President Donald Trump. The harshest remarks come from Trump’s closest confidants, such as former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Gary Cohn. Though more insulting than Tlaib’s remark, these comments receive less media attention.

For male politicians, profanity is often written off or, at most, makes for charming media coverage. Former House minority leader John Boehner was fondly known to throw around expletives, a trait that inspired light-hearted news stories, according to a 2013 Slate article.

Tlaib’s single candid comment sparked hundreds of articles and negative coverage in less than one week.

The most important detail of the story is that after Tlaib spoke, people cheered because for once in a long while, they felt represented. People finally felt their anger being matched.

It’s time to stop shadowing outrage and disgust with politeness. In Trump’s America, there is no advantage with calm discussion. There is no room for eloquence or embellishments. Democrats have been relying too heavily on the rules of the legislative process and dated idea of decorum to save themselves and the people they are meant to represent. They have been so caught up in saving face, they fail to notice the rules have changed.
