All of these institutions and individuals used language as a weapon, and they did it with experts. Limbaugh and his ilk started stabbing civil discourse and Trump finished it off. The elites wielding their money and power started to call the activists "elites". The rich anointed themselves the "job creators".

Can the words on a protest sign, on a website, or spoken by a wholehearted politician make a difference? It can and it has. Bernie changed everything, but he would be the first to say he didn't do it alone. Desperate doesn't play with the youth that follow him, not to mention their own outstanding leaders.

And the greatest corrupting neo-slang of all: truncating "Democratic" for the Party to "Democrat."
