Who can stomach to watch this lol, but I was curious what was meant with these code words.

https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-project-2025-secret-training-videos-trump-election

One video, titled “Hidden Meanings: The Monsters in the Attic,” is a 50-minute discussion of supposed left-wing code words and biased language that future appointees should be aware of and root out.

I wonder what those words are? Anybody has a list? Climate change obviously. EDIT: gender fluidity, equity plans, critical race theory. Abortion presumably

This sounds more and more like a cult to indoctrinate people into a higher level of MAGAness. EDIT: Or more like a police force for political correctness. Reminds me of Dolores Umbridge.

I made it through about 10 minutes, and it's exactly as hypocritical as you'd imagine.

The left wants to weaponize language by calling abortion "reproductive health care." They prefer this because it sounds a little less like "murder." /smugface

Yeah, and you want to weaponize language by calling abortion murder. Your defense of that is, "But we're right. It is murder." In much the same way that the left's defense is, "But we're right. It is health care."

They're just describing how people have always argued with words, but they want to weaponize language by referring to argument itself as "weaponizing language" (but only when the demonic commies do it) so that arguing for any viewpoint left of theirs is tantamount to violent crime. With a weapon.

These videos are to train people so that they can better sell Project 2025, making it sound very much not harmful and even helpful to create confusion and something cult members can remember and point to to counter any uncomfortable realities that challenge the cults status quo and narratives.
