“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” Postmodernism and critical theory in a nutshell.
The idea that words have meanings is oldthink.

A lot of people have replaced their maxed out race card with a troll card. All you have to do is disagree with someone and they call you a troll. And on some sites that get you banned.

The administration can’t fix the actual disasters they’ve created in everything from diesel fuel shortages, to baby formula shortages, and rampant inflation; so they pivot to attempt to divide the country and focus people’s anger on a phantom menace. Anything to distract.
It won’t work.

The Dems want to make sure that nobody says anything harsh to the biggest bunch of collective bullies that exists

White House is here to tackle web trolls to keep your mind off the polls and your hunger pains.
