Huh?
Gleichschaltung is a German word that means (meaning "coordination," "making the same," "bringing into line." It was the Nazi policy enforcing political conformity in all sectors of society.

3. Controlled interpersonal communication, e.g., politically controlled jargon. (Politically Correct language, cancel culture)
4. Manipulating the population to the point that it can no longer distinguish truth from lies. (Fake News and per AOC, “We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.”)
5. Banning the expression of conventional religious viewpoints. (e.g., Little Sisters of the Poor. See also Hobby Lobby and Chik-Fil-A.)
6. Re-educating students in the ways of state philosophy. (Critical Race Theory)
7. Rewriting history (e.g., 1619 Project, removing/demolishing statues, the Rotunda is racist, renaming schools)
