I remember even in the 80s reading about style manuals and related books being sanitized of so-called sexist and other politically incorrect words. And it probably goes back further than that; I just wasn't paying attention that far back.
The liberal cult knows that words are how we communicate and even how we think. So they took control of the machinery of language and turned it into a weapon of political, cultural, and religious war, using sanitized and altered language as part of their indoctrination program. It's one of the reasons they have been so successful at herding cattle.
Patriots see these things and talk about them, but nothing is ever done to stop them, and the cumulative effect has been massive. The kind of idiocy being sold today never would have been bought without a very effective indoctrination program.
If we remain on the road we are on, there is little doubt that a time will come when the American people are disarmed, by a government that is no longer bound by the law. And that isn't even the end game, it's just another step, though a really big one. And I don't know what can be done to get us off that path, since we are so far along on it, short of dragging those perpetrating this crime on the Republic out and hanging them. Our political system sure isn't going to make things better.
