Politics & Religion / Re: The Politics of Meaning

Thanks BBG. This resonates with me. They say, politics of meaning. I've been saying, they're stealing our language. Good to see someone on it.
We are such sheep as a people to keep following these people with their nonsense terminology. Good examples in the article. Others: Affordable housing is anything but. Affordable Care also means subsidies. 'Smart planning', really? Pro-choice means kill someone, but make kids go to the same bad schools?
Gay means happy and rainbow is a real thing, not a symbol.
A flag flying upside down means his wife was in distress, nothing to do with being a traitor.
Election stolen is an opinion, and you can have a different one, but it isn't something "falsely claimed unless you personally tracked every vote and every tabulation.
And on it goes. Why are they always calling the shots?
