The left does this all the time.

There's a segment of society which has higher than average rates of Depression, substance abuse, unusual diseases, physical abuse of the people they love and, not surprisingly, very high suicide rates. We call these people "gay" but they are not happy.

And Progressives are the ones who think economic, social, and political ideas from the 1930's are still cutting edge.
