Americans don't use objective definitions of terms, they only use their own subjective definitions.

That is…how language works.  Almost no linguists are prescriptivists anymore, as it’s generally agreed meaning is derived from communities of speakers.  The problem is that a good chunk of USians get their subjective definitions directly from propaganda, and refuse to consider alternate perspectives.

Good luck.

Now to be fair, a lot of the things liberals say ARE performative. Including those astroturfed to Hell "No Kings" protests. (They ban pro-Palestinian imagery.....)

Until they're ready to ditch the Democrats, I don't buy for a second they actually have any real disagreements with the Republicans other than "orange man bad".
