    Same happened to the terms “political correctness” and “social justice”. The meaning gets twisted into something grotesque by think tanks and then it’s shipped out to talking heads so Billy-Bob can regurgitate it at the water cooler.

      Critical Race Theory, school libraries full of porn, caravans of migrants heading to the southern border, activist judges legislating from the bench, and so on.

        Except activist judges legislating from the bench is real, and they seem to be the worst possible humans doing so. “Seem” being key.

          You see, when justices make ruling based on personal rights of people conservatives hate then they are activists.

          When they allow conservatives to stomp all over the rights of minorities then they are just using ‘common sense’ or something.
