How liberals perform linguistic gymnastics in order to control the debate
In George Orwell's book 1984, war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. Similarly, liberals are famous for their Orwellian tactic of controlling language in order to shape perception. Here are a few examples:
| Their deceptive language | What they really mean and/or truth |
| Women's March | Democrat women's anti-Trump march |
| People's March | Democrat's anti-Trump march |
| Climate denier | Assumes that they are right, the debate is over and the science is settled |
| We are guided by science | We are guided by politics |
| Climate action | The word 'action' falsely implies that humans can actually affect earth's climate |
| Progressive | Repressive, regressive |
| Diversity | Race quotas, not merit-based. Discriminating based on skin pigmentation (usually anti-caucasian), gender (anti-men), sexual orientation (anti-straight), etc. |
| Inclusive | Socialism, exclusive, dividing people into categories, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Trump |
| Equity | Discrimination based on skin pigmentation, socialism |

| Immigrants | Illegal immigrants |
| Anti-fascist | Pro-fascist |
| Anti-racist | Anti-white |
| Build back better | Burn the system down, roll out socialism |
| Unity over division | Falsely casts Republicans as hostile and Democrats as peaceful. "Unity" to them conveniently means everyone surrendering to their radical plans. |
| Truth over lies | Just say the opposite of what is reality. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. |
| A nation divided | Democrats create division, then conquer |
| Disinformation, Misinformation | Any speech that contradicts their propaganda |
| Medical misinformation | Any truthful facts/studies or opinions that contradict the medical establishment's mandates/views regarding masks, lockdowns, asymptomatic spread, etc. |
