The disorienting, and dangerous, appropriation of language.

It's an opinion, again not abuse of language.

The only abuser of language is the left these days.

Men Can menstruate.

What % of Dems do you believe think men can menstruate compared to the % of Repubs who believe the Big Lie? It's a false analogy.

 

[Billiejeens]

Have you noticed there is no proof for anything you write?

Since I write facts, I have not noticed that.

 

[berg80]

What was wrong with it was PROVEN, in real time.
Swings states changed the way that mail in ballots were handled, without LEAGALLY CHANGING the way mail in ballots were handled.
We all saw the machinations as they occurred.
Entities within a state changed the way that they were going to handle the ballots.
Those entities didn't have the authority to do that, yet no one was able to stop them.
The second that unverifiable ballots were mixed in with verified ones, the steal was on.
No legal way to decide which ones were legit and which ones were not.

Sorry, I'm finding it difficult to converse with someone like yourself who is detached from reality.

No, it's the difference between opinion and abuse of language.

Lol, talk about some hardcore gaslighting. The OP wins in a 1984 Reagan landslide.

I saw a car strewn with right wing bumper stickers the other day. One of which said "The Patriots are getting upset." The other stickers made it clear the reference was not to the football team. It was to traitors who want to be thought of as patriots. Calling yourself a patriot when in fact you favor insurrection is delusional.....and disorienting. The line from 1984.........
“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.”......comes to mind. So does MAGA.

From the beginning of Trumpery we were told the pictures we saw of the inauguration did not reflect reality. If you wanted to know what was real you had to listen to an inveterate liar. "What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what is happening." Don would have us believe liars are truth tellers. No wonder he spent so much time being interviewed on Faux.

Now he wants us to believe orchestrating a plan to steal the election by having, in part, the VP accept fake slates of electors rather than the ones representing the votes of the people is covered by the 1st A. Huh?

Orwell despised a lot of words. He wrote a whole essay on them in 1946. Titled “Politics and the English Language,” the essay takes aim at all of Orwell’s pet hatreds: excessive use of Latinate instead of Anglo-Saxon words; unwarranted use of the passive voice; mixed metaphors; clichés; and the phrase “not un-,” as in “it is not unlikely that Trump will seek office in 2024 if not barred from doing so.” (Redundant, fumes Orwell. Just say, “It’s likely.”)

But what Orwell is particularly angry about is imprecise language, and language that conceals rather than clarifies. Which, for him, includes most political language. “Political language,” he writes, “is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”

For this reason, Orwell argues, politicians are particularly given to lazy, sloppy rhetoric, filled with meaningless buzzwords and clichés. Political language, he says, muffles the sense of what is being communicated, which is so often indefensible, with an overlay of righteous justification. And as a result, those who get caught up in this style of speech — both its speakers and its listeners — find their ability to think caught and shaped by their impoverished language. They are no longer able to recognize a lie as a lie and a murder as a murder because the language in which they speak is so vague as to allow them to consider a lie an alternative fact and a murder a tragic yet unavoidable accident.

It's funny watching a fucking NAZI waxing sanctimonious about patriotism. Apparently they believe patriotism is when you support the police state, no matter what it does. In their view, a patriot is a servile boot-licking toady.


Progs always give away their true selves.

Nice screed. Wrong from jump street, however. The original American patriots did seek insurrection.

The present day lovers of America do not (as you falsely insist) seek insurrection at all. Instead, they seek to repair a great deal of damage which has been inflicted on our republic by modern American “liberalism,” by leftist ideologies and by the behavior of those individuals.

The test for who is an actual patriot isn’t really found in self applied labels, either way.

It is very amusing to see a lefttard like bug.80 suddenly expressing any concern with “appropriation” of language. Such mindless hypocrisy is beyond just ironic.

 

[bripat9643]

There is no evidence for that assertion.

ROFL! There is a mountain of evidence, NAZI.

 

[bripat9643]

What % of Dems do you believe think men can menstruate compared to the % of Repubs who believe the Big Lie? It's a false analogy.

The later is plausible. The former is not.

 

[berg80]

Women can have penises.

How did you come to believe that?

 

[berg80]

The later is plausible. The former is not.

The latter has been completely disproven. I suppose you think there is safety in numbers. There isn't. Millions of Repubs believing in a lie doesn't make it true......or even plausible.

Do you also believe the lie that got the ball rolling for the Trump admin? The one when poor Sean Spicer was told by Trump to go out to the WH podium and lie about the size of the inaugural crowd.
