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's 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 | Falsely impying that humans can actually affect earth's climate |
| Progressive | Repressive, regressive |
| Diversity | Not merit-based. Discriminating based on skin pigmentation (usually anti-caucasian), gender (anti-men), sexual orientation (anti-straight), etc. |
| Inclusive | Exclusive, dividing people into categories, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Trump |
| Equity | Discrimination based on skin pigmentation |
| Unity | Shut up and let us Democrats get what we want |
| Unhinged, divisive, causing chaos, mentally unstable, etc. | Smears that they use to describe anyone who disagrees with their views, policies, etc |
| Immigrants | Illegal immigrants |
| Anti-fascist | Pro-fascist |
| Anti-racist | Anti-white |
| Build back better | Tear / 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 divide then conquer |
| Disinformation | Any speech that contradicts their propaganda |
| Conspiracy theory | Smear term for any account of an event or circumstance that they disagree with |

| Get out the vote, Rock the vote | People who aren't motivated to vote usually vote (D). People who push these slogans are trying to get more (D) votes. |
