It fascinates me. Call it meme, trope… whatever. Words are the weapons of war on the battlefield of politics.
One that stands out to me now is:
Amplify, amplification - clearly can be used as a positive or a negative. Judging not only the original voice, but anyone who repeats it literally or interpreted. Usually implying the repeater has the bigger platform.
White privilege. Tieing the notion of privilege to skin color, when the fact is that the overwhelming majority of whites throughout America’s history have not had anything resembling actual privilege.
A movement usurped by a chameleon-like New York liberal who duped millions buying into a political/societal/MLM, and grenaded the Republican party while his supporters cheered. Conservatism.
