Help me build a list of words redefined by the "woke" crowd and the Left. We have to actively take our language back.

The Left, the Woke, the Progressives, the whoever believe they are, apparently have the power and the right(!) to redefine what words mean, who can use them/ who cannot, words that insinuate meaning (aka 'dog whistles') etc. For too long we have gone along with that. Let's first identify the words they are redefining, co-opting and restricting, and restore them to OUR usage, in our culture.

So help me capture the words 'they' seek to control and contort. More below.

“marriage” is one.

It didn't take the 'woke crowd' to redefine marriage. It's been redefined time and again.

Way before that. Traditional marriage died when society rewrote what Jesus taught in Mark and in Matthew. Marriage is the permanent union of one man and one woman: what part of "Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate" is so hard to understand? But society has rewritten marriage. Marriage became a union of one man and one woman...until someone better comes along. That isn't a woke thing. It predates that by decades. All this same sex marriage stuff is only a continuation of that.

Use grown up words. Otherwise you lose credibility.

woke”: replace with “racist leftist”
“progressives”: “extreme leftists”
“liberal”: “Freedom-hating leftists”
“Democrat”: “corrupt power mad leftists ”
