Brian KlaasOkay, I finally got too annoyed about idiot MAGA zealots incorrectly using the words “coup” and “Marxist” while insisting that “America is a republic, NOT a democracy” and wrote about why such abuse of the English language is both stupid and dangerous. https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/maga-corruptions-of-the-english-language
Drumchord@brianklaas It was quite long ago when I first encountered the "this is not a democracy, it's a republic" reasoning and I remember being in awe for a few minutes just thinking how could someone be that stupid. It stills amaze me btw.
Great piece man.
P.S. I dream with a world in which the word "billion" is correctly used ;)
