The Democrats and Doublespeak

Language is being used to control thought and behavior among our population in ways that are toxic to our culture.

As a retired clinical psychologist, I’ve always been fascinated with how language is not just the result of thought but can actually shape thought and behavior. But as an American, I am distressed over how language is being used to control thought and behavior among our population in ways that are toxic to our culture, counter to our God-given rights, and destructive to our nation.

In George Orwell’s prophetic novel 1984, the fictional totalitarian government maintained control of the thought processes of its population largely through use of “doublespeak.” American politicians, especially Democrats and those on the political left, have mastered the art of doublespeak and have been pumping it out through all available media outlets for decades.

Consider the left’s use of the terms:

a) “Liberal” to describe an ideology which, if anything, opposes and goes to extremes to quash diversity of thought and behavior that threatens its authority and definition of “truth.”

b) “Progressive” for agendas and policies that have over time effectively killed creativity, rewarded mediocrity and dumbed down our society to maintain control through mandatory, unquestioning conformity.

c) “Inclusiveness” and “diversity” that have spawned an explosion of laws and a burgeoning industry based upon discrimination against and exclusion of major segments of the population according to race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion and other personal attributes.

d) “Justice” not as noble pursuit of equity and fairness based upon law and order and God’s ultimate truth, but as an excuse for wanton, violent revenge and unbridled thirst for wealth and power.

e) “Socialist” to soft-soap the harsh, often lethal realities of communism by connoting opportunities to interact and bond with well-intentioned others for presumably positive, altruistic, common good

The left has to talk in circles because if they came right out and stated what they want to do to our country it would shock and frighten people.

ALL “progressive/left” power originates from Electoral Fraud. ALL urban decline commences with electoral fraud. ALL OF IT.

The disenfranchised voters then leave...taking their money and their businesses..allowing the criminals to run the show.

Electoral Fraud ALWAYS precedes Leftism and Progressivism..because at the end of the day..Leftism is essentially a disordered mind/mental illness...and most people who can hold a job and are productive enough to be taxpayers are not mentally ill and reason just fine.

Those aiding and abetting local Electoral Fraud then get “theirs’ from the process starting in motion the urban declines. In the 50/60/70’s it was the bookies/the mob, by the 70/80/90’s the dope cartels, by now it has evolved into human trafficking with manifold different expressions as outlined in multiple places on the interwebs

Once the fraudulent processes are in place the networks of control assembled from decades of accumulated dirt and control crimes on one another in local and state and national politics layer and layer into a massive social/administrative/economic national mess. A slow “progression”into a nationwide dystopia

Don’t forget “Science”.

[MtnClimber]

Their science is political science which is the mechanics of convincing people to believe things that are not true.

My latest is the left corrupting the word liberal to the point it goes the way of gay. The term liberal in properly applied to those of the Enlightenment.
