They seem to vacuum up otherwise useful and unassuming words, encode them with nefarious submeanings and release them back into the wild hoping they will live long enough to mate with or murder their innocent progenitors, thereby distorting any sentence, speech, reply, thought in which they are thereafter deployed. It is downright weird: black ops dada propaganda. It's also downright scary because they are masters at it: turbo blast shit at the wall in the hopes that something sticks. It's a malignancy and I don't believe it manifests anywhere else on earth to the same extent as with the right in US politics/public discourse.<br /><br />I shall be henceforth adding <i>glibertarian</i> to my everyday lexicon and shall credit you sir - don't spoil it by telling me you didn't coin it!peacayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997731249622552311noreply@blogger.com
