I find it a little disappointing that they are reducing it to Trump. The left has its own version of “Newspeak” thanks to political correctness and DEI efforts. I guess in the end people in power or who want to get in power will promote vocabularies that support their cause and discourage use of words that don’t support them.

I feel more and more we are slowly moving into a future between 1984 and Brave New World.

If you really believe the two are comparable, you've been successfully brainwashed by conservative media. No one ever got deported for acting "politically incorrect".

    No need. It's enough to simply lose your job.

      I mean, yeah, if you're being a dick to your coworkers for too long, losing your job is eventually justified. Someone losing their job for being merely "politically incorrect" is unheard of.

I think it’s largely liberals who tone police the dirtbag left, like when they were calling Bernie Sanders sexist for something that I never heard articulated well, but was when he was running in the primary against Hilary Clinton. I’m convinced that the whole identity politics wave is controlled opposition from establishment powers in both the liberal and conservative wings of the two-team uniparty system.
