Diagonosis: Political Tourette's

Austin Ruse is a Catholic pro-life activist American who writes common-sense articles about a variety of today's issues.

That earns him the slings and arrows of oh-so-modern Twerps.  Ruse has diagnosed the Twerps' condition.

...Tourette’s syndrome is a condition of the nervous system that causes a person to unwillingly and uncontrollably make certain sounds or shout certain words—often cusses or vulgarities. Tourette’s isn’t a funny condition. It’s a heartbreaking trial for the afflicted and those who love them.

Political Tourette’s, on the other hand, affects the political and religious Left, who find themselves losing political or ecclesiological arguments. Their response is to shout out certain vile epithets: racist, homophobe, anti-Semite, xenophobe, white supremacist, white nationalist, and so on ad nauseum. We shouldn’t sympathize with those afflicted with this particular condition. Political Tourette’s is a choice. More precisely, it’s a weapon—one that they use to distract from their total lack of substantial arguments....
The condition may or may not be curable.  Say a prayer for the poor creatures who suffer this malignancy.  And say a prayer for their victims, too.
