The left has mastered the art and science of making Americans use the words they want. It’s imperative that we call them out and adjust how we speak to slow the emergence of the post-truth society.
One of my roles is Editor at The Liberty Daily. Despite the site getting millions of visitors per month, we operate as a tiny team. There’s me, the owner Matthew Burke, a tech guy, a video girl, and that’s pretty much it. Matthew and I start at 5am and work throughout the day and night until around midnight curating and aggregating content that American patriots want and need.
To stay on mission, there are certain rules Matthew has put into place to make sure we’re not just sharing America First content, but that it’s being framed in ways that tell the real story. The left has stolen vast amounts of control over language in western society and unfortunately many on the right have adopted leftist-approved terminology.
One of the most glaring examples of this is how they talk about guns. They say “mass shooter” and “gun violence” because they want to gaslight people into an improper understanding of the crimes. At The Liberty Daily, we use phrases like “violent criminals” and “mass murder” because these terms portray the real problem. As they say (though not nearly enough), “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.”
Arguably the biggest hot-button item being discussed by conservatives today is, as I like to call it, “Trans-Tyranny.” We do not use the terms “trans” or “transgender” by themselves for a very important reason. Both have been tested and approved by the powers-that-be to craft the tale they want told.
“Trans” invokes feelings of transition (aka improvement) while “transgender” invokes victimhood. When we use the term “trans,” we do so with qualifiers only. As I noted earlier, I call their actions “Trans-Tyranny” or part of the “Trans-Supremacy Agenda.” I refer to their violent criminals and abusive protesters as members of the “Trans-Terrorist Cult.”
Instead of saying, “transgender,” we refer to them as “transvestites.” That’s what the vast majority of them are by definition. While the term “transgender” makes many people see them as victims of being born in the “wrong” bodies, “transvestite” properly frames their fetish as either a mental illness, a cry for attention, or both.
How about flakes looking for attention that about sun it up?
Or how about freaks, weirdos, nut jobs…………lots of other names work too.
