A serious problem with our system of governance is that anyone with enough monetary backing can use the Goebbels Big Lie technique, just keep repeating lies over and over and over and over again...whether they’re the false Fakestinian “narrative” (a script the old Soviet KGB wrote for the Arab Occupiers of Israel to make them somewhat “legitimate”there)
or the Communist lies about “diversity” and (much more pernicious yet) “equity”, or the many lies about President Trump......the enemies of USA that are inside our borders just keep repeating the same old lies, over and over again...
and pretty soon even good honest American citizens start adopting the LYING VOCABULARY like, again, “equity” and “Palestinian” and “Trump is a racist” (the latter being the left’s ultimate psychological projection)

and more.

I, for one, avoid using the enemies’ vocabulary.
George Orwell (Eric Blair) knew that totalitarian systems control language in order to prevent their citizens from expressing or thinking rebellious (or just contrary or free) thoughts, writing ‘If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought’.

Yup—this is how illegal invaders become “migrants” or “undocumented” or “visitors” or “guests” or whatever they are calling them these days.
