It's actually pretty interesting.

Since they don't understand legal jargon, they think it is malleable just like all the other words such right wing poorly educated people co-opt.

And since they don't understand it, then no one else can either, so meaning is arbitrary.

It's how they get away with insisting on being called 'patriots' despite trying to use violence to overturn a legal election.

It's how they get away with calling everything they don't understand 'fake news'.

It is the boundless momentum of weaponized ignorance and it will be the downfall of the United States within our lifetime.
