The worth of saying "Dammit!"

"Dammit!" "Dammit!" "Dammit!"
Recently a big election campaign was concluded in the U.S.
The winner won the race virtually by saying "Dammit!" for so many times.

The worth of saying Dammit!

Dammit! Got to have Law and Order!
Dammit! Got to ship out illegal immigrants!
Dammit! Gonna build the wall!
Dammit! Jobs back to the States!

Then, immediately after the win, he showed a surprisingly reconciliatory attitude, praising his opponent and the president incumbent, successfully made him more president-like. All through the campaign, his frequent use of vulgarities made him teflon coated against criticisms from liberals, feminists, LGBTs and almost all the news media companies combined. And then, he surprised everyone by his new looks and attitudes.

Frankly, I'm glad about the outcome of the election. Following up Brexit, British break away from the EU, nationhood made a big comeback. Now it's OK to say "America 1st." just like it's OK to say "Japan 1st." "Make America great again." "Make Japan great again."
It's not like the U.S. as a big sublime champion of Democracy and freedom, and the rest of the world should follow this good example and try to be more like America. The U.S. is not the world policeman anymore, so, everyone should mind your own defense or pay some more for American military presence. All make a great sense.

Come to think of it, you cannot have democracy without your full nationhood. Democracy and Nationalism is one thing. Nationalism cannot live with Dictatorship, because under dictatorship, the nation doesn't have right to vote, therefore, unable to replace the head of nation.

Besides all of this, I like the resonance of the phrase "Dammit!" because of its urgency, immediacy, and "really meaning business" stance.
So, from now on, I'll use this phrase as often as possible. But because of there are so many polite people, I'll say it in a soft voice or only mentally.

Dammit! it's time to wake up and get up!
Dammit! start working out!
Dammit! stop drinking too much!
Dammit! life is short!
Dammit! life is meant to be happy!
Dammit! make your next speech project!
