I agree. It drives me nuts how many FReepers will just start using the term “alt-right”, without realizing they are putting the noose around their own neck by reinforcing a negative association.
Another one that just kills me is the leftists BS concept of having to “pay for” tax cuts.
In the left’s twisted view, a deficit is caused by the government not taxing enough to cover government spending, whereas we know the cause of a deficit is the government spending more than it has.
Can you imagine telling your parents they can’t cut your allowance unless they can figure out another way to pay for your expenditures? Yet, that is exactly what the left is saying.
The idea of tax cuts needing to be “paid for” is a deception - it places the burden of proof on the taxpayer to prevent deficit spending, when any honest, sane and reasonable person knows the burden is on the spender.
Then I see conservative talking heads start to adopt this phrasing - even though it works against their own argument! Is this why republicans are called the stupid party?
Yes, the stupid party yields both language and premise to the Marxist left,at its own peril. I’ve been tired of it for over twenty years, but there seems to be no end in sight to their stupidity. My big bugaboo, refer to Cultural Marxism as, political correctness.
