Republicans have redefined the use of the English language
Many years ago I posted a thesis which received some fair approbation from those here at the site which stated that the Republican version of the English language had spontaneously evolved. By way of explanation: at the end of the Reagan administration, when George HW Bush was set to announce his candidacy, one of his minions, a certain Craig Fuller, made a speech which was covered by the networks on their nightly news. I recall thinking that I had never heard language used in this fashion before: it melded words and phraseology in a wholly different manner than that with which I was familiar. The one thing that was present during the Reagan administration and those Republicans before was a certain level of straight talk: we’re going to keep out of your wallet, more money for national defense, and the like. Their speechifying had subjects and predicates and was simply understood by any fourth grader.
Fuller’s speech however melded the usual Republican terminology with a certain shall we say, esoteric use of adverbs and pluperfect tenses along with lofty goals and ideals and I found it about as confusing as the third paragraph and beyond of any Scientific American article ever written. (those articles were deliberately edited in a stock fashion, I know this because one of my neighbors was a retired editor for that periodical and told me, laughing, that that was a deliberate methodology for excluding the casual reader).
Now, they are talking about re-defining slavery as involuntary relocation. Next, they may term the shooting of peaceful protesters as a “spontaneous cardiac stoppage” or words to that effect. We have to be very careful of these people, they have Nazified their party and there is no bottom, no end in sight for their perfidy. They allowed the deaths of over 1 million people and have not one whit of conscience about it. Their deliberate and willful ignorance of the Covid monster was unnecessary and malevolent and anyone who could kill a million people and not even think twice about it is in my opinion a serious threat to the existence not only the United States but of mankind in general.
