The famous Republican Party pollster has his office right here in Bethesda. And he’s hired me to come up with some new Republican Party euphemisms.
As Frank explains it: “It’s not what you say. It’s what they hear.”
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
- racial profiling – melanin data collecting
- income inequality – wage diversity
- white nationalism – Caucasian conservation
- anti-Semitism – biblical bias
- billionaires – capital artisans
- fracking – freedom wildcatting
- progressive taxation – pitchfork redistribution
- voter suppression – plebiscite protection
- concentrated wealth – capital intensity
- global warming – post-Ice Age thaw
- conflicts of interest – points of negotiation
- MSNBC – verbal pollution
- wealth tax – the Devil’s arithmetic
- blackface – historical cosmetology
- Facebook – digital diarrhea
