I “hear” you, loud and clear!
Words DO “mean things”, and that’s why I CRINGE every time I hear someone on TV use the word “democratic” in conjunction with what a member of the Democrat party does or says.
They are NOT “democratic”—but “autocratic”, and even Communistic!
Plus, have you EVER heard someone on TV use the word “republicanic” to describe the words or actions of a member of the Republican party?

Absolutely...your post is spot on!

I think it is related to why you never hear them call hard core Leftists “Left Wing” but always use “Right Wing” for conservatives.

All part of the plan!
