Very relevant to a lot of Trump, MAGA, and Republican rhetoric these days:

The Hidden Cost of LieSpeak

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/6/3/800040936/community/the-hidden-cost-of-liespeak/

LieSpeak is a sly tactic for covertly pursuing an immoral goal while appearing blameless. Instead of admitting their intent, LieSpeakers make outrageously false accusations of their target’s wrongdoing as justification. This can cause internal conflict, conscious or not, undermining authentic self-esteem.

An example: accusing immigrants of widespread voter fraud to "justify" suppressing nonwhite citizens' votes.

Es geht nicht um „Verbrauchertäuschung“ beim Thema #Wurst und #Schnitzel, es geht um #OwningTheLibs und #Kulturkampf von rechts.

Can we quit with the phrase "own/owning the libs"? It is annoying and now even Scarborough is using it, so it is time to be retired.

"#Kirk wasn’t showing up to campuses to “talk with anyone who would talk to him.” He was showing up armed with a string of logical fallacies, nonsense talking points, and gotcha questions specifically designed to enrage inexperienced college students so he could generate viral social media clips of himself “#owningthelibs.”

When we praise bad-faith performers for “engaging” with their critics, we’re not celebrating democratic norms—we’re rewarding those who exploit them."

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas

Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him”…

Now, if we could tie MAGA Nation into their seats, and make them watch this, and spend a few weeks explaining it to them. #ThanksMAGA #TrumpLovesThePoorlyEducated #LowIQMAGA #OwningTheLibs #AreYouTiredOfWinningYet

@SandraDeHaan het doel is, net als bij MAGA, natuurlijk ook alleen maar om ‘links’ op de kast te jagen. (Geldt overigens ook voor die 4 (!) kerncentrales)

Owning the libs is getting more expensive and more environmentally friendly. I just don't understand this time line.
