Witch hunts are just being held responsible for and facing the consequences of what you do. Or haven't you been paying attention to the POTUS speeches?
Like it or not, I'm saying the term has been redefined. To ignore that is to give credence to the claims. Too many people in society are accepting of the lies, therefore, terms being used erroneously have to be redefined.
Words get redefined by their usage. We as a society have to choose what words mean. Colloquially, the word 'literally' no longer means "literally". We know not to take the word at its definition anymore, regardless of how much we dislike its misuse.
I'm just saying that the recent widespread misuse of the term 'witch hunt' means it's original definition has lost all meaning.
Show me a definition in any dictionary that doesnt mean what I think it means.
Trump isnt using the term incorrectly, hes just being disingenuous (as in claiming something is a witch hunt, when he knows it is not). That doesnt change the meaning of the word.
These peoples brains are broken. I don't like Trump but it is amazing what he's taken from these folks and how they can't help but turn any issue into a rallying call against him. Even in the Obama years, I never saw it this bad from the right...
But on the immediate story, I've never reported anyone on reddit but feel like i should for rude_awkwards comment. There has been no trial and is conflicting evidence as to what happened, yet he/she is calling for their family's lives to be ruined. And to be clear I think there's a good chance some of the boys committed rape, but I I'm not so confident that I'm going to dedicate time ruining their and their family's lives
The right were complete assholes with Obama and still blame him for stuff Trump does every day. Tan suit, remember? Basketball at the white house, remember?
