There is a saying: “The absence of profanity will offend no one.” This from the guy who signed his letters “Go fuck yourself” for a year. You might be surprised to learn that I don’t swear much, much less than I used to. There was a lot of swearing in the military, and there was a lot of swearing on Wall Street. I was a product of my environment. While at Lehman Brothers, I’m guessing I dropped about 100-300 F-bombs a day. I took it to another level. I would even drop the occasional C-bomb from time to time, which these days would get you escorted off the trading floor by security. I basically didn’t have a filter. It was George Carlin’s seven dirty words and then some.
Violently agree. Sometimes I get frothed up at work and go on a tirade with too many expletives and I catch myself spilling over saying too many in normal life. To your point about kids, my 3 yo heard me say it twice and picked it up right away. Hilariously he wanted to open a Christmas present early and when my wife told him no he said, “this is fuckin ridiculous”. Such perfect usage I can’t even be mad!

Please do proceed as normal. And, you have one who agrees with you about the politeness factor.
Maybe Trump was signaling that he is not owned.
You are absolutely spot on. 100%.
