Decoding Liberalspeak

Power Line's Steven Hayward mixes snark with truth and posts a year-end clarification of "what certain terms mean for liberals:"

  • Populism: When the wrong person or cause wins a free election. (Think Brexit and Trump.)
  • Racism: Any opposition to the agenda of the left.
  • Democracy: Any institutional design or voting system that enables the left to get what it wants.

I find these clarifications help when forced, against my will, to listen to Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Warren, AOC, or Sanders. Not even Democrats will listen to Harris.
