"Global Warming"? Well I've experienced cold winters, THEREFORE CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX.
"Patriot Act"? Well I don't care for the encroaching security state, THEREFORE I MUST BE AN ENEMY OF THE STATE.
"Never forget"? Oh shit, slipped my mind, I GUESS 9/11 NEVER HAPPENED.
"1%"? Well gosh, I know a medical technician who earns $350K/year, but they're still paying off student loans, THEREFORE THE WAGE GAP IS A MYTH.
"Believe all women"? Buddy, I have an ex who used to lie and cheat on me, THEREFORE WE SHOULD ACQUIT HARVEY WEINSTEIN.
These assclowns are total fucklords. Guarantee if you ask them to break down any of these slogans down they could do it in exquisite detail. The truth is they just disagree but lack the conviction to say so and want to lecture you instead.
(I'm always thinking back to Matt Christman's dichotomy of "don't be an ahole vs. don't be a p*y" that perfectly encapsulates today's libs/cons).
There was, incidentally, a large koch-funded effort to switch to "climate change" terminology. I don't have the sources for you, I read it a long time ago, but the calculus was something about it sounding less urgent or dangerous. There's of course no way of knowing for sure, but I don't think we'd be in a worse position today if people kept using the phrase global warming.
I don’t either but the rebranding happened around the same time it started to be taken seriously (in the most loose of definitions)
