LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon
I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant. I thought I might attempt to clear up some confusion about the language. Here is a guide:
Women’s reproductive health = aborting a fetus. Climate change = global warming. MAGA supporters = uneducated hicks.
Carbon neutral = nonfunctioning, overly expensive taxpayer subsidized new technology that will be forced upon you. Newcomers = 8 million illegal immigrants. Racist = Republican.
Saving democracy = weaponizing the government to attack political opponents. Right to protest = creating traffic jams throughout the country. Being the most nonpartisan senator in the country = voting 97 percent of the time with your party and President Joe Biden’s failed policies.
As the campaign season progresses, I hope this helps people better understand what they will be hearing.
