Sooo... the left craft newspeak catch phrases to try conceal their their blatant racism and disastrous policies. And of course the author's take is that conservatives are evil for calling out their bullshit. It's so odd that he didn't cover affirmative action, i.e. the only real institutionalized racism in the country right now. Oh wait, did I just do the evil verbal jiu-jitsu?
Besides how plainly biased the author is he also gets plenty of facts wrong in his naked effort to further the leftist crusade. Just one example (of many): his claim that conservatives somehow caused mainstream media, governments, and scientists to switch from 'global warming' messaging to 'climate change'. This is patently ridiculous. Conservatives hold little power in those institutions and certainly not enough to shape their narrative regarding the crown jewel of the leftist power grab playbook.
What really happened was that the left changed their messaging because 'global warming' was too definite and didn't give them enough wiggle room as the weather fluctuated over the years. For example, there was an extended period of global cooling from roughly 1940 to 1970 and global cooling alarmism was even popular for a time. 'Climate change' was chosen because it could be used to push the leftist agenda regardless of what the weather happened to be doing for even extended periods of time and so that the focus of alarmism could be pushed to events like hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires, and so forth.
I remember screeching about ice ages from my early childhood maybe 3 to 5 or so, then it was the ozone layer thing, which to be fair has been fixed afaik, then global warming and now the nebulous climate. It's just so tiresome
