Those who wish to bypass the severe limitations on their power imposed by the U. S. Constitution must find innovative ways to "fool" voters.

Using tricks with language has worked to their advantage in the past. They believe it will work now.

Just as the real history and meaning of the word "progressive" is being discusssed, the word "populist" is coming into vogue.

Have Americans wised up? Or, will they see through the semantics employed by this president and his power brokers--he who loves to use words, because they "matter."

Bad ideas masked in misleading semantic terms are still bad ideas.

Make a list of your own examples of such manipulation of the minds of citizens by mislabeling and share with the young people you know. Watching for and identifying the trickery is the key to rebutting and defeating it.
