I fully agree with this and have been consistent about using ‘Leftist’ and ‘Statist’ for most of the past year, if not longer! I also dislike the use of ‘Progressive’ as it too is TOO POSITIVE for the Low Information Voter. If it is a term that they have STOLEN, we need to dishonor that theft and call them for what they are; the Manic, Marching Leftist Morons with Delusions of Competency in State Control (MMLMDCSC)!
My ex would shut me down if I spoke of liberals or Democrats, even occasionally ‘the Left’. I could speak of Progressives and it was OK.
The Dims are all about using cute, feel-good phrases to pander to their emotional base. Any bill that begins with ‘affordable’, or describes ‘fairness’ is to be avoided. Even the homos co-opted God’s rainbow to use as their flag. It’s a psych game.
“Collectivist” is the term Ayn Rand came up. When we refer to Hillary : Hard core collectivist wife of Impeached Ex-President Clinton.
Since "Con" is the opposite of "Pro" I suggest they be called "Congressives". It fits because they seek to use Government (Congress ,Politburo , Dictator, whatever) to usher in their imaginary utopia.
I don’t think we’re allowed to call them what we’re thinking, are we?
‘Globalist’ should be today’s catchword.
