LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

Updated April 23, 2024 - 11:40 am

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.

LETTER: The new democracy

Democratic elites will force a candidate on the masses.

LETTER: A Trump miracle?

Victor Joecks’ assertion that God specifically intervened for Donald Trump (he actually called it a miracle) but allowed Corey Comperatore to be killed is absurd blasphemy and a perversion of scripture.

LETTER: Shame is powerful tool

At least half a dozen people should have resigned already over the recent Trump assassination attempt. Or they should have been fired in disgrace and dishonor.

LETTER: Another Biden success story

So glad to hear that our military considers this huge taxpayer-funded boondoggle such a success.
