    Well it’s like the word racist, it still has its connotation, but since it’s been overused so much it loses a lot of the impact that word originally had.

    The other thing watering it down does is make it easier for actual racists, fascists or paedos to be more open about it and openly embrace it. After all, if an entire group is calling you a racist for multiple years, why not embrace that term?

      Sounds like you acTquiescing to being an idiot too. Which just makes you an idiot lmao.

      People choosing not to believe DJT is not a Paedo is not me watering the word down. It’s those people being idiots. I can call Elon a Nazi because he did a Nazi salute, twice on national TV. Again anyone that says otherwise is an idiot.

        You’re basically making these blanket statements and accusing people of stuff with no proof. Elon is right wing, and trump is a creep, but he’s not a paedo.
