“Yes, the 9/11 attacks were horrific, but they were more about optics than actual harm.”

Two things bother me here. First, the absolute minimization of 3,000 lives lost when we all know the author is shilling for Saudi money. The other is the use of the word “optics”. Optics has a real meaning, but it is now a new “progressive” buzzword to distance the obvious odiousness of a thing or occurence and to annoint the speaker with special insight. I find this author’s statement repugnent. Imagine if I were to say: “Yes the holocaust was horrific, but it was more about optics than actual harm.” See what I mean. Dispicable.

The other is the use of the word “optics”.

Just like the idiot liberals use of the word "gravitas" during one of the previous presidential elections.

The use of new terms and words must come directly from the Democratic Party faxes and e-mails because, out of the blue, the term or word is used on the same day by every liberal propoganda outlet and talking head.

Liberals are not smart enough, en mass or otherwise, to start using new words and terms.

This kind of double speak is proof they are all using Democratic talking points.
