I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    If you ignore the actual usage of words then you’re speaking your own language and talking only with your own in-group bubble.

    This was not a conversation about the political science term “liberal”. It is about lies told to everyone. We’re obviously discussing common usage.

    • We’re obviously discussing common usage.

      Saying something is obvious doesn’t make it true. The only noun you use in your first comment is “Democrats” so how is this not a discussion about politics? I am having a discussion about politics and I’m going to do my best to use political terminology in its established scientific meaning not a niche dialect that you believe is “common use.”

      The world is much bigger than the USA. Americans only make up 15% of the English speaking world. What you call “common use” is just “ignorant and wrong” to the rest of us.
