to call it that. It is propaganda. Every time the name of the bill is mentioned in the media, more people think "that sounds good!"
If it was a bill to kill babies, called the "Lovely Baby Bill," would the media repeat it ad nauseam?
Aren't you sick of these Orwellian semantic games that the Republicans play? Clean Coal and Natural Gas must be good for the planet
Fair Tax---who can complain about tax that is fair? Fake News---any media that isn't repeating the Trump BS.
America First---to Trump, it actually means isolationism and xenophobia that puts America at a disadvantage. Religious Freedom---to Trump, it means Christianity only and the spreading of anti-LGBTQ hate. Pro-Life---take away women's right to choose, even if they die as a result, while taking away child safety net programs. Traditional Marriage---just another BS excuse to spread more anti-LGBTQ hate.
makes me SICK that the media goes along with this utter fucking BULLSHIT
