I made the terms into a list and then I alphabetized it. I hate Politico. It's an actively annoying site.

Several of these are the kind of rhetorical substitutes we got in lieu of any systemic change.
Liberals: “Yeah we might not be able to give you real support but we can give you lip service. Wait, hang on, guess we can’t do the lip service anymore.”
Meanwhile chuds hooting and hollering over this kind of shit because they believe in what is probably best described as a stupid kind of magic and believe these words are imbued with confusing and terrifying energies.
I never thought of it quite that way. But now that you've mentioned it - they really do seem to think that their dog whistle words are highly negative sympathetic magic. In other words if a liberal says "DEI" enough times - a black person might suddenly appear in the chud's all-white workplace.
