Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJill Wine Banks has an important job for us! From her Twitter feed:
1/ It's time for a #ResistanceGlossary. We need to call things what they really are and not use Trump's fake language. It's conspiracy to defraud the US, not Collusion. It's aiding & abetting, not meeting with Russians. It's destruction of our elections & democracy, not meddling.
2/ Help me build the #ResistanceGlossary. Give me a list of words that we should say instead of what Trump and his co-conspirators say. #SayThisNotThat.
Im sorry I suck at linking to tweets but heres the content. Help her out.

This was not an attack on Hillary, this was not an attack on democrats, and this was not an
attack on liberals. This was an attack on the United States of America and our allies in an
act of war by a hostile foreign power in order to weaken us and our allies.

(76 posts)They use the term "Politically Correct" like it's some sort of indecent sex act. I always thought it was a buzz word for "polite discourse." The opposite would likely be "Rude"
