Leftists love using sematics to distract from the core issue, like thieves, sodomites, pedophiles, etc. When I find that magic lantern with the genie, one of my three wishes will be that every lefty gets paid a visit by the random criminals, no matter what name those leftys used to distract from what the criminals actually do, and get a good zesty bite of that criminal’s favored crime. Every single one of them.
Slap them upside the head and tell them it wasn’t assault but rather a cry for help by an oppressed conservative who’s views are being marginalized because of the prevailing liberal dialectic.
