What term is most over-used in American political dialogue today?

[OtterMan68]

communist

fake news

fascist

marxist

nazi

patriot

traitor

[AviatorTom]

Every political speech ends with God Bless America. Why? Why do people think that God should bless America and not bless other countries?

[ADFSDF1996]

All of the above.

• Liberals think I'm a fascist
• conservatives think I'm an anarcho-communist

[OtterMan68]

I've been called a nazi, fascist, libtard, trumper, etc because my views don't align with either side.

[Tomisworthless]

The second you have a position that isn’t mainstream then you’re considered opposition to either party.

[liggang]

I wonder what your views are that make people think such opposites

[sawno]

I can't vote on any of these because every single one is both overused and underused. The issue is that they are being applied incorrectly, so they are being used against people who don't remotely fit the world while simultaneously not being used against people who fit.

[SweetDripp]

Extremist. Everyone who disagrees with something is immediately labeled a left-wing or right-wing extremist.

[lightbulb27]

"Poopy head".

example.

'I'm right, my policy is right... that other guy is a poopy head.'

Oh how much easier it be to think if we just thought like 1st graders...

[Danzigdawson]

And, also, "woke".

[liggang]

Woke is absolutely real. Actually conservatives understand woke better than liberals do.

[Danzigdawson]

@liggang The opposite would be surprising, as it's their own made-up concept.

[liggang]

It isn't a made up concept. It's basic political science. I don't know why I didn't elaborate when I made the comment.

The most. importsnt concept in political science is the idea that people's beliefs are fundamental, foundational, and so on. Our beliefs are what drive the world.

In order to usher in the ideal human society, people's beliefs need to be changed.

"Woke" is the idealized future where all people's ideas and beliefs are congruent with a communitarian society. This implies at the end of the day, social engineering.

I'm not making this up it's not conservative bullshit. It's literal polsci from a book if I have to come back with references I will.

Conservatives are against such things as social engineering.

But honestly at the end of the day Conservatives are not very intellectual or educated. It's more of something they kind of know but don't actually know. If that makes sense.

They feel on some level an aversion to Woke ideology but they may not understand why or how their feelings are legitimate.

Liberals, not having any intelligent opponents, have nobody to sharpen their minds against, and so liberals in general are ignorant as fuck about anything that is rooted in philosophy, which Woke is ultimately rooted in philosophy and Marxism and so on and so on.

Conservatives understand this stuff to some degree. And liberals act like they are above it. Meanwhile, the actual smart people who think all of this stuff up, are leftist commies basically. Liberals don't understand that much of their beliefs are shaped by what are ultimately leftist commie intellectuals.

Don't make me bring references I don't want to do the work.

[Dargil]

Person of Color™
Social Justice™
Conservative™
Systemic Racism™
Climate Change™
MAGA Republican Extremists™
Threats To Our Democracy™
Trump Dementia Syndrome™

They're everywhere.

[Siri137]

It's difficult to say, because ALL of those terms have largely become meaningless due to overuse.

[normalice]

These are only overused to the extent they are misused. And I think Marxist is the one people miss with the most.

[BCRanger10]

Fascist, racist/white supremacist, extremist, "threat to our democracy", fake news, and yes, even "woke" (though I'll admit to using it occasionally).

[BCRanger10]

I'm also kind of tired of hearing "let the children be who they are" from the degenerates who are trying to do anything but that.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Fascist or 'right-wing extremist'. American politics is like a zoo on cocaine, with everyone going wild

[genericname85]

fascist. cause a lot of the people who use that word to critique others are fascists themself. like antifa for example.

[genericname85]

oh and in german media particularly, nazi is overused. cause if you've listened to media for a few years here, at this point everyone has been called "nazi" at some point in time. no matter where they are politically.

[strateguy632]

not list racist! used very often by those who support the guy who actu said, in racist style, you ain't blaak. hypocrits! lol.

[David94358]

Alt right is way over used, anyone with a slightly left leaning political opinion is labeled alt right half the time

[OddBeMe]

Most throw around Marx without knowing a damn thing about it.

[OddBeMe]

Though he was a horrid anti-Semite he had interesting opinions on modern economies.

[Anonymous]

I would say "racism" and "sexism" are by far the most overused terms in politics today.

[loveslongnails]

8) "woke" is both over-used and misused by people who don't have any idea what it means.

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

from the left, "gender."

from the right, "border."

[worldscolide]

Can i take all of the above please?

[NamerOfStars]

"Trump".

[legalboxers]

Woke.. the Trumplican word...

[Still-alive]

I was gonna go with ‘woke’ actually

[Simslover92]

I was going to say the same thing lol
