Now that Fascism is a very dirty word our left had to give it up and also give up the Socialism word. The left co-opted the word "liberal", which used to mean libertarian (freedom). They've also mangled the term "progressive", which in their usage means regressing into statism and repression. Our constitutional republic becomes a democracy (unconstrained mob rules). Illegal alien becomes undocumented immigrant. China flu (virus) becomes covid-19. Global warming becomes climate change.. The list goes on as the English language becomes increasingly fluid to the point where words and terms mean whatever New Speak deems currently acceptable and politically correct. I feel really sorry for kids today, as the modern education (indoctrination) establishment tries its best to destroy their minds.

The Tyranny of the Woke. Still can't wrap my head around what is "total private property". “America... goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.” John Quincy Adams Message 33825619 Maybe I had the wrong impression of him. From the PfP thread header: "We are almost all "Jacksonians" here." Interesting statement, considering the contrasting politics between Jackson and John Quincy Adams. A history mystery.
