I despise how the left subverts language (like everything else that they touch!). At the same time I find it amusing how they assign the opposite value to the words they subvert.

There is nothing liberal in “modern” liberalism. It relies on strict adherence and blind obedience to regimentation and submission.

Progressivism is anything but progress. The only thing it advances is their agenda. And that agenda is regressive in every sense of the word.

“Affordable Health Care for America Act” - what a joke! it is anything but affordable!

I have taken to using the term “leftist” or “left winger” instead of liberal. I think it’s more accurate because it places them on the political spectrum without resorting to euphemisms.

I also call them “dhimmicrats” but usually then when I’m “talking” with one of them ;-)

Well said rockrr.

You’re absolutely right - the words they abrogate swiftly become the opposite of what they used to mean.

Is there anyone more miserable than a ‘gay’ man?

Is there anything less free than ‘liberal’ politics?

Is there anything more regulated and monotone than ‘diversity’?

‘Planned Parenthood’ - no planning and no parenthood!

‘Support the workers’ - rob the workers blind while living like kings at their expense.

And so on.
