THANK YOU. With all the huff and puff over "what the Democrats did wrong", this concept needs more attention. The left has tried to reasonably compromise with unreasonable people who refuse to reciprocate, and the entire political narrative has been dragged further and further to the right
(and away from reality) for DECADES. "Pro-life". "Religious freedom." "States' rights". "Liberal media". All bullshit and dog whistles, but increasingly mainstream with far too little pushback.
It has been very effective. I have spoken to people whom I used respect use the word WOKE like it is something disgusting. They have done the same thing with DEI.
They’re lumping whole groups of people into a singular group named DEIA that is the “enemy of the people”. We’re no longer a woman, or a person of color, or differently abled, or not a Christian as defined by them. We’re DEIA thus making it easier to demonize and discriminate against.
Well put Ms Piper! This is propaganda I learned in English class in the sixth grade. That was over 40 years ago and I still remember why we were taught these things.
I’d love to pose a question to you Jess. Does it make sense to refer to them as magas and not republicans? There is no maga party just a republican party and this mess is being created by republicans. Couldn’t the following get confused like they did with Obamacare/ ACA.
Plausable deniability?
GW Bush's administration changed the definition of "prisoners of war" to "detainees" in order to avoid the Geneva Conventions and house these "detainees" in Guantanamo indefinitely. It was a scandal then to many fair-minded people. And now another administration is twisting language.
