I watched a Trump voter in an interview being asked about Trump being a felon. He replied that it's just a word and doesn't mean anything. This is where we're at now. Words are just words with no meaning. Language is now redundant according to the right.
Richard Tice, a leader of the UK's right wing Reform party, was asked about some pretty abhorrent statements being made by other Reform members. Tice said to the interviewer, "You seem very upset by language." It's a disingenuous, insidious tactic to remove all meaning and context from anything being said. The right has realised that instead of defending or justifying their constant use of offensive and abusive statements, they'll just render all language irrelevant and neutralise the use of words in order to reshape them to mean anything they choose in any particular situation. "Felon" is just a set of letters that follow one another.

@Richard65 they'll always find a way to make themselves right.

@Richard65 Indeed. It’s like those who claim "racism" as a word has no meaning. It never had a meaning to those who say this and were never its target. Oddly, it doesn’t stop them from being defensive about it. 😳
