Those words require government funding since they can't survive in the real world that requires balanced financial books. Outside the government or places receiving federal dollars they are absolutely fine. Shrink the government and grow self sufficient ecosystem for no censorship left or right |

No, new poster, but as I told my Dh, an immigrant, I do not want to be the Nazi neighbor in history. We are slowly being put in that position with these taking of people Willy Billy off the streets and more to happen daily. Make noise, stand up, while we still can say something. |

I would actually like to see many of these words scrapped from the English lexicon. Better than some of the words that Biden and the left wanted removed and replaced. mother father assimilation woman And, then there are the euphemisms the left pushes... individual who breastfeeds undocumented immigrant irregular migration And, let's not forget how Biden, et al redefined "infrastructure." What a joke. The worst part of the Biden term though is his actions. |

| We had to sit through 8 years of Barack Obama's term and 4 years of Biden. You can deal with Trump for another 3 years. |

These are the euphemisms that the right pushes: unborn child (fetus) illegal alien (non-US citizen who is undocumented) marriage (something that is only between a biological man and a biological woman) states rights = states should be allowed to make their own rules when I don't like a federal law virtue signal = when liberals stand up for the rights of others white genocide (lol) Christian = mostly they mean evangelicals (Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, etc. are not really "Christians") parental rights = telling public schools what and how to teach Not to mention awful words like: *Anchor baby *Catch and release (they're not animals!) |
