Redefined? No, we define it properly.

[No name given]

That’s right!

[Jonty30]

I just tell the truth and it drives liberals nuts.

[rfp1234]

Libtards are butt hurt that conservatives have read and understood Alinsky’s rules, and effectively used them to fight back.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“redefined or tarnished by conservatives.”

LOL...that’s utterly ridiculous. The leftists coin all the new words to support their causes. The right generally adopts them even when it shouldn’t.

Does “That’s so gay” count as a taunt? Is that tarnishing a leftist word?

“Alinsky’s rules,”

we’ll have a gay old time with that...

[Olog-hai]

Conservative verbal jujutsu will always clobber liberal verbal genjutsu.

[mware]

Jui-Jitsu language like man, woman, male, female. That kind of jui-jitsu?

[stinkerpot65]

Here is some verbal jiu-jitsu:

“Democrats are evil scum.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Lefties go insane when you use their own tactics against them.

[Qwapisking]

rules for radicals 101...accuse your opponent of doing what you are going to do before you do it.

[PetroniusMaximus]

No it’s quite simple, the left’s lies don’t fly anymore.

[blackdog]

You wordsmith it, you own it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s not as bad as the way the damn libs turn their Kabuki dances against us all the time.

[bigbob]

We did it with “fake news”

[Paladin2]

“its devotees avoid taking opposing arguments head on”

The Left has no arguments, only emotional appeals.

Mental midgets often consider things beyond their ability to transparently discern a sort of magic or ju-jitsu.

Our schools rarely teach students how properly to deal with evidence, facts and reasoning, but more often they model conformity to group-think stereotypes.

[17th Miss Regt]

Consider the evolution of the word for black people. Did conservatives do this?

N****r to colored to negro to black to African American to person of color.

In each case the word change was driven by liberals.

[Steely Tom]

Libtards are butt hurt that conservatives have read and understood Alinsky’s rules, and effectively used them to fight back.

Yup exactly

They think that's fighting dirty.

[Nuc 1.1]

Pity we don’t use the correct word for them, Fascists.
