Donald Trump understood from day one that he could never win the presidency talking the way politicians talk. And he could never win by “acting presidential.”....this was a man who was out to crash the gates of Washington. And in order to do that, he had to radically upend the way the game of politics is played. He had to start 'by changing the language'.
The royalty of the American political scene— known variously as “the Establishment” or “the elites” or “swamp creatures”—closely guard the language that is spoken in politics. It is a powerful tool in maintaining their grip on power. And the political press slavishly enforces these rules of language. (If you don’t speak the language, you don’t play the game.).....outside the established “Inner Party”—do have terms for it. “Political correctness” is probably the most common description....I call it "the Lexicon of Lunacy."
a term that is astonishingly dishonest and mercilessly subversive: “identity politics.”
The term, of course, describes a certain political strategy that is highly favored nowadays by Democrat politicians and the hacks they hire to do some of their nastiest dirty work. Republicans also use “identity politics” sometimes, but far less.
What is remarkable about “identity politics” is what an entirely accepted political strategy it has become today, sixty- six years after the Supreme Court declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Even the great media titans talk about “identity politics” as if it were just some innocuous strategy for reaching voters.
In fact, it is not just another obnoxious example of political correctness...It is the most insidious betrayal of the civil rights movement in America, in which a color-blind equality was so valiantly fought for. “Identity politics” represents everything that noble leaders like Martin Luther King devoted their lives to fighting against.

This one's a keeper... understanding how such mediocre people keep their hands on power is the key to keeping our nation free...
The author hits the nail on the head.
Mr. Trump was and is so popular because he is an anti-establishment individual who crashed the political party death grip on our Republic.
He is one tough hombre’. I don’t know of anyone else who could survive the beat downs he has been receiving for the past 3 years.
I would be in prison for blowing some a-holes away.

Now color is all they see — no individuals. PC or identity politics is a form or racism where you are like the identity group or collective you belong to — again, no individuals. They don’t see the person.
I believe identity politics is a form of Marxism that sees only class struggle. The struggle is between various ethic or racial or sexual groups. It leads to tribalism and the break down of a cohesive whole: the United States.
At the lowest point PC and identity politics is unpatriotic because it doesn’t recognize Americans as Americans. And why do the elites want this ideology? White guilt? Power of belonging to big government that controls warring factions? They were taught by Marxist professors in university? No. They want it because it is cool.
Yes...it’s a great revealing read in why the Dems and the their cohorts the media insist on ‘language’ control they use, change or create then stuff down our throats.......
I call it the Lexicon of Lunacy.
The list of words, terms, and phrases in the Lexicon of Lunacy runs from the ridiculous to the deadly serious. Take the word “cisgender,” for example. I don’t actually know what it means but I know that we are supposed to use it when we are all tiptoeing around somebody’s severe midlife mental breakdown in which they decide to go under the knife to rearrange the sex organs God gave them.
Another sex word I am still trying to understand is ‘binary’.
Which is exactly what the Dems want so they can regain power and “look like” the saviors of a divided country when in fact they're creating it.... They want the fighting and chaos so they continue to feed it every day.
That has to be in contention for the "Post of the Year" award.
When you do get an understanding of "binary" in regards to biology, please let us all know.
It is lunacy...we’ve known this for awhile how they twist language to hide the horror of their policies and agenda....Abortion ‘IS’ killing babies in the womb and now out....Not to mention all the gender and sexual issues they “color” and bend over backwards to push on the public and worse confuse our kids...
I’m not sure who is more insane with this language deception.....those pushing this or those actually accepting it and supporting it!
Oddly enough most ALL their policies center around sex in one way or another.
Great read. Thanks for posting!
You’re welcome....I enjoyed it also... it’s also well written.
If so then why does Charlie remain as now completely off the reservation Matt Drudges right hand man?
Staying the course is more evident today than it was in 2016. The work to drain the swamp is just getting started. To date, POTUS has drawn out most of the traitors who now need their day of reckoning.
I knew how bad the Bolshies were going to be, I did not know how good Trump was going to be. Trump pushes back, where, the Republicans would cower.
Well that is certainly very true.....Trump doesn’t sit down for any body, but I do think the really big things he waits until he has what he needs. He might put some things out there to keep them guessing on what he’s going to do or make them think they know, but when he’s ready he socks it to them.
Unfortunately our side often has no patience and get themselves tied up in knots. Therefore they miss seeing how Trump works.....which is a thing to marvel at.
I don’t think he’s off the reservation...besides I read articles that are informative regardless.
