The left uses many inaccurate and deceptive words; that’s being nice. What they are doing is lying. We all know the accurate meanings of these words, but the left is trying to convince us that what we know isn’t true.
This is a very brief explanation of some of those words. It isn’t complete, but it covers many of those you will hear leading up to the election.
MISINFORMATION: False or inaccurate information, especially designed to mislead or deceive.
LEFTIST VERSION: Anything thing that disagrees with the left’s delusions. Right or wrong plays no part in their decision. If what is written or said opposes the left agenda in any way, it is branded as disinformation, resulting in a loss of free speech.
WOKE: The past tense of wake.
LEFTIST VERSION: Having a supposed alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination and an awareness of social inequalities like injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights. This triggers quota programs such as DEI, contamination of the minds of children with CRT and the warping of corporate productivity with ESG.
CLIMATE CHANGE: Doesn’t exist. the Hadley Centre has some measurements beginning in 1850, but there are too few data points before 1880 for scientists to estimate average temperatures for the entire planet. Therefore, the left wants us to believe that they can predict climate changes with only 144 years of data on a planet that is 4.54 Billion years old.
LEFTIST VERSION: An environmental scam designed for a significant transference of wealth through regulation enforcement and new leftist owned corporations benefitting from them.
PROGRESSIVE: Something happening or developing gradually or in stages; proceeding one step at a time.
LEFTIST VERSION: The crazed thinking that anything goes and everything is acceptable. Especially regarding sexual orientation and the absurd idea that men can become women and vice versa. The result is mutilated children, men in women’s sports, an increase in young suicides, and a drop in the childbirth rate.
MOSTLY PEACEFUL: Quiet and free from disturbance, peaceful implies a state of repose in contrast with or following strife or turmoil.
LEFTIST VERSION: A description used to muddle the purpose, truth, or intent of a person, group, or event Involving extreme violence, looting, destruction of property, or arson.
SANCTUARY CITY: A city designated as a safe harbor for illegal aliens. A true oxymoron, safety for people breaking the law.
LEFTIST VERSION: A leftist moniker used as a badge of honor by Democrat mayors, many of whom never expected to see any illegals.
INSURRECTION: A violent uprising against an authority or government.
LEFTIST VERSION: A term used to describe any protest by conservatives, even those that are obviously non-violent. As opposed to radical leftist riots where property is damaged, looted, and set on fire, which are described as “Mostly Peaceful.”
A NEW WAY FORWARD: A move onward to a new period in life after a difficult period of time.
LEFTIST VERSION: A phrase used by Democrats to try and fool voters into forgetting all the damage they have done by trivializing and pretending that their past abominations never occurred or are someone else’s fault.
DEI: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Quotas.
LEFTIST VERSION: An excuse to implement quotas under a more pleasant-sounding name. The result is white discrimination and choosing race over merit.
CRT: Critical Race Theory. A theory based on a lie.
LEFTIST VERSION: A divisive manner of teaching that focuses on the relationships between social conceptions of race and ethnicity, social and political laws, and media. It considers racism to be systemic and divides races by insisting that all whites are privileged. The result is a lack of instruction in basics such as reading, writing, and math.
A key aspect of understanding the implications of the left's deceptive politics is realizing that their words do not align with their true intentions. While their language may seem authoritative and occasionally sensible, it is actually part of a strategy to undermine our values and beliefs.
