It was stupid in March. Now it's tyranny.

It's a word game, and I mean that in the most terrifying sense. When you create a term to define something, you draw a psychological "line in the sand" separating one group of things from another. The true power lies in the fact that the separation defines one side as as presumptively good and the other as presumptively bad.

Draw enough lines and you create a box in which to trap people...by words alone.
