Thus has it always been

Yep. It helps their messaging w low info voters. That way when it fails, they can primary any Republicans who vote against it and replace them w MAGA. And also, as always, blame the Dems. "They voted against the Retire W Dignity act! They want you to work til you die!!!!!" Will be there messaging.

You can be sure that every bill Republicans propose will be harmful. All they care about is power, money, and punishing groups they don't like.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Just like the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" which doesn't add any protection to women or further punish sexual assault. All it does is tell trans people they cannot participate in sports. Republicans definitely do not know how to read beyond a title.

We're in the Bizarro World!

The Nazis used euphemisms to disguise their true intentions from victims and bystanders: “Final Solution” meant the complete annihilation of all the Jews of Europe; “Resettlement in the East” - deportation to concentration camps; “Processing” - the selection, gassing, burning and disposal of people.

Haha Freedom Caucus

Rump and the rest of his flying monkeys actually had me believing there wasn’t enough water to fight the fires in LA, when it’s actually a process FF’s have to deal with while the tanks are refilled to reactivate the fire hydrants. This is so dangerous! The next four years will be Hell on earth!

Hot tip for #DNC #Democrats #America has lost the ability to understand any complexity so use stupid short names for everything you do. Some quick thoughts #PublicEducation = #AmericanKidsFirst, #GunReform = #DontKillAmericanKids, #WomensRights = #ProtectAmericasFuture, #taxClergy = #MakePedosPay.

Straight out of Orwell's "1984"

Omg and right-side up is upside down.

It's been that way for years. Every bill.

Yes. Thank you for saying it. This is what they do.

Like "Make America Great Again"

Predicting "misnomer" will gain prominence in reporting over the next 2 years. Well, at least in independent news circles. MSM will continue with inventive wordplay. Going to need a bigger thesaurus.

The rebranding of indecency. It’s trending. 😵‍💫

Retire w Dignity Act = take away Social Security!!!

"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength." - George Orwell, "1984"

They’ve always done that. GOP and Right Wing extremists are Expert Gaslighters. Propaganda flows naturally to disguise their malevolent intentions

Hot tip, it's been that way for years. Ex. Patriot act

This goes hand in hand with everything a Republican says should be considered a lie or misinformation unless you can verify it. They tell you it's raining, stick your hand outside to confirm. That's the level of trust to bring to Republican information.

They, always, do that. In 2010 they passed the "Citizens" United Bill that laid the ground for a corporatocracy.

I want this to be funny - but it isn't.

👏🏼👏🏾👏🏼👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽👏

I have one for the floor: Orange is a Prison Uniform Colour Act. How about: People Hate How MAGA's Act?

They are experts of the three card Monte. Reducing funds for pediatric cancer while lowering taxes for the rich is not I repeat, IS NOT, fiscal responsibility. It's bait and switch

How about “Subterfuge the MAGAs Act” and cause Congressional paralysis?

Spot on

Ya I caught on to that too

💯

Writing a deceptive and misleading bill description is exactly what Ohio Republicans did to deceive voters into continuing their extreme gerrymandering and control of the state. The Ohio Supreme Court (also Republican-controlled) ultimately approved the fraudulent ballot description.

I always thought of that as “right to work at a non-union company”. They want the pay and benefits and protections of a union without paying the dues. .

When they cut Medicare and social security, the bill will be called "Strengthening our Retirement and Healthcare systems".

"Ministry for love"

I’ll be ignoring all of the propaganda BS that comes out of the corrupt US “government” the next four (or whatever) years. Until sanity returns, we don’t have a government.

It is called framing the subject. George Lakoff warned about this decades ago! The rwingnuts have become experts....calling anti-abortion, "pro-life". Sadly it is a long list....

They have been using misleading language for decades!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Exactly as described in "1984"

I came to comment the Clear Skies Act.

Double plus ungood.

Upside down world!

Just like in real life. They either project or lie outright. Best idea:Never take them at their word. Liars lie and they don't work for you.

He was the source of a lot of "how-to-be-a-dictator" tips that Trump has been following assiduously.

All misnomers. That shit is meant to hurt 🤕 you

A GOP bill paving the way for the invasion of Greenland will be called the "No More Wars Act".

Many are saying that you should never give them ideas like that

Orwellian doublespeak

Right to Life means Right to Control Women’s Bodies Voting Integrity means Voter Suppression

🤬

Phony Baloney.🤬

Have a look at SB-382 in the NC General assembly from last 2024. Labeled as hurricane relief it didn’t put one red cent into WNC. It did strip the newly elected Dems of powers.

no damn doubt 😡

Lying frauds . Ghouls .

Ahhh all great ideas for the MAGA temple followers...

Always

Don't forget to mention that there's cowardly ass Democrats helping them pass these Bill's.

“New speak” - George Orwell

Thanks for the tip.

Yes some of us lived through the aughts.

Both sides have done this for decades!!! If there's ever a bill called the "A Chicken in Every Pot" it would in, a number of ways, raise prices on poultry and cookware.

Sometimes their ignorance is simply staggering.

Interesting

If in all ideology [people] and their circumstances Mappear upside down as in a camera obscura…

Thousands of examples of this!!! Here’s exhibit 13,964 … GW’s Clear Skies Initiative increased air pollution …

Exactly. 👍

Good motto

The media will not talk about this, and the Dems are too timid to inform the American people.

The "Defence of Greenland" bill authorises the invasion of a Nato ally.

And I'm sure all the Republicans that voted for Donald Trump are going to be happy to send their children in the military to fight against our neighbors and allies and overtake Canada

Agreed.

It always does

Just like Louis Dejoys “Delivering for America”…..NOT! #USPS

Good one ☝️

You'd say it was Orwellian but it's 100% that Trump hasn't read Orwell. Or heard of him.

This is my fav. Martial law act would not be palatable 🤔

All of this tracks!

I hate those assholes

I remember the ol' "Grey Power" BS for raising the age of SS in the past.

Right on 👍 mom!

Same for myself. It struck me then as such a terrible alternative future but here we are, so many people seemingly blindly marching towards it.

Go figure Right!?!

Absolutely. I view a large portion of American voters as children and innocents when it comes to politics. They operate out of feelings, avoid thinking or doing research, and believed in claims that are the political equivalent of the Tooth Fairy or Easter Bunny.

Like “Right to Work” laws sound employee friendly BUT actually favor employers.

LOL!!! typical lying...

Well, let's be fair here, the 'Goat Fuck You in the Ass Act' doesn't have much of a ring to it.

Yeah, but that's been the game since 2015 or earlier. Total doublespeak. And putting people in positions of power that have zero expertise and usually want to burn down the gov. Inside out, upside down, satanic.

Strongly agree 👍

raygun trickle down scam. Right to work for less.

I’m teaching Animal Farm in my high school English class. Old tricks. Same tricks. Every time.

Hmm, so in line with their upside-down thinking, maybe they could propose a bill titled "Keep Presidential felons out of jail" 🙃

If you haven’t already noticed, They’ve been doing this for at least the last twenty years.

Less is more, War is peace…

If we have learned anything over the years is that republicans are never for the people. I trust them as much as I trust Fox News.

Disgusting

Ahh, Doublespeak 😉

100% correct

The You Choose ACT would be about forcing you to choose which grandparent gets sacrificed for the economy.

Or - they sponsor legislation that has popular appeal and then don‘t vote for it! and when running for re-election (especially in competitive districts) cite the legislation they sponsor.

Truth

Titles made up by Trump's Ministry of Truth?

This is nothing new; reference the GWB years: Patriot Act (restricted many of our rights/freedoms in the name of security); No Child Left Behind Act; Healthy Forests Initiative; and Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, for example.

For those of us who have read 1984 and Project 2025 it’s pretty plain.

Ah the old fascist irony.

Straight up Orwellian.

It has ALREADY STARTED with H.R. 7 calling for life-affirming medical care for women AKA - Abortion Ban! #abortionismedicalcare #publishtheERA

Insanity, double speak

Been like this for decades Hard to believe our illustrious msm never figured it out to call them on it & Worse Dems let them get away with it

So true!

Yes! Thanks for pointing this out! It’s all doublespeak

Orwell warned us about this in 1984. And, here we are thirty years too late, but, in full force.

We saw this start with W, and "No Child Left Behind." But it's gonna be on steroids, this tendency, now. So thanks for the reminder!
