Democrats understand how people work and it's why they keep "winning". Their arguments don't need to be substantive so long as people react emotionally, which is most people. Language is one of their most potent tools. It's why I keep pushing against the use of sarcasm to mock whatever language the Dems push. Sarcasm repeats the Dem's language and gives it further life.
Democrats work hand in glove with their propaganda arm, the media, to shift language to control and shape narratives. A perfect example is the shifting descriptions of illegal aliens: from that term, to illegal immigrants, to undocumented immigrants, to migrants, to asylum seekers, to just plain immigrants, as if people illegally entering the country are indistinguishable from those who go through the legal process and wait years to come here. The examples are endless: “pro choice”; “expanded access to voting”; “social justice” or “equity”; etc.
They use these terms to desensitize and change the attitudes of not only their mindless base of hardcore liberals, but also low information people who subconsciously think “hey, the AP or NPR is reputable, this must be the correct way to think about this issue, no need to keep digging.”
It’s all coordinated between the political and propaganda arms of the left.
People think we are dealing with stupid when in reality the masterminds behind the manipulations are quite intelligent and have plenty of dollars to research how to manipulate.
Don't think the morons on TV have invented anything they are talking heads.
Democrats don’t know language. They try to redefine words because their arguments are full of lies.

This is exactly right ^^
The GOP is a traitor party. Trump should is wasted on the party. It is no wonder the Dems dominate the minority vote.
Ridicule works, per Alinsky, and it's one thing that keeps them winning. Sarcasm is a form of ridicule, and it's foolish to disarm ourselves.
You’re not going to ridicule someone by repeating the same words verbatim that they didn’t feel any shame in saying in the first place.
Example: court packing.
"Defund the police doesn't mean defund the police."
"defund police" = "we (democrats) can steal more"
On the contrary they are masters of language, which is why they actively subvert words they know the public likes with ideas that aren’t palatable.
e.g. “Equality” went from equality of treatment to equality of outcome.
This.
