Words that No Longer Have Meaning

Sure they are. They advocate for that all the time. They are arresting preachers for daring to hold church services.

Who did this?

Thanks to The Left for watering down the words society uses to decry despicable acts, I bring you the top 3 words that No Longer have any meaning because of over use, abuse, and misapplication, in a "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" syndrome, sometimes confused with Trump Derangement Syndrome as the symptoms are nearly the same.

1.) Racism. Over used and abused. It's become just another slur like using The "N" word. It's abuse and misuse cause people to simply tune it out, along with other words such as bigot, White Nationalist, racist. When people hear this word, they think they are being conned or manipulated, and it is now associated with the word Hoax.

This does not bode well for the very few people in America who sometimes experience racism. Racism is becoming extinct in America while the allegations of it are becoming an all too frequent shrill, and desperate attempt at gaining political power through false allegations of racism.

2.) Impeachment. Over used and abused, and misused. People do not even know what this word means anymore let alone even understand why someone can be impeached. Are mean tweets an impeachable offense? Nope, not even close. It's actually very difficult to get impeached, and it is not a process to be taken lightly nor a term you should throw around just because you don't like someone's hair. Yet some throw this word around like they water their gardens.....ever day. It's lost it's impact.

3.) Rape - Sexual Harassment - #MeToo I feel bad for the victims of any kind of sexual assault or unwanted advances. The Democrat Party has utilized this word as a weapon against it's political foes, abandoning any principles of Due Process, or Presumption of Innocence. Other associated words like Sexist, Misogynist have also lost their meanings and no longer evoke shock at these acts, nor sympathy for the victims.

Once The Democrat Party decided to weaponize these words, they lost their meaning. Literally criticizing anyone of color for anything becomes racism, and the word then loses its power and meaning. Making a pass at a woman, if unwanted becomes sexual harassment instead of the pursue and catch game that has been played by the sexes for centuries, and Impeachment is just another way of saying I Hate You, and would rather spend my time in vitriol and hatred trying to undermine you and usurp you, than doing the job I was elected to do.

Changing the meaning of words, watering them down, and also adding in to the word salad bowl, political correctness which limits discussion, and effectively bans words, phrases and topics becomes a dangerous trend.

It's a trend that inspired George Orwell to write 1984, where he warns society of a future culture where thought crime and hate speech are literally anything you say and do according to the New Leftist Puritanical View.

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. . . . Even now, of course, there’s no reason or excuse for committing thought-crime. It’s merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won’t be any need even for that"

Orwell, 1984

Fully agree. At one time, racism was once where you felt superior over another race. Now it's where a white person doesn't embrace everything about coloured people to their own detriment and expense.

Certainly from the Trump years, impeachment was used on everything, it lost it's meaning. Trump farts, lefties scream, "Impeach"

If you want to go on a date, have a contract set up and take your solicitor so if you touch hands and kiss, it doesn't count as rape.

"Common Sense" has died, and, "Mental Illness" is now embraced as the new norm.
