I love snow, gardening, sledding, hiking, floating in the ocean, reading, floating in a pool, dogs, whales, goats but most of all I love my family. Oh and chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting. But only my mom’s recipe.

The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.

5trees.bsky.social (@5trees.bsky.social) reply parent
Trust me when I say where I live to a lot of people, the words on that list are excessively lofty language. People come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of intelligence and we have to speak in a way that is understood by every voter and that means using plain speak. Unless you like to lose elections

When we are trying to get critical messaging out to the voters so our candidates win and our democracy doesn’t collapse is not time to be wasted on teaching new vocabulary when there are plenty of more familiar and perfectly fine alternatives to use. Hubris doesn’t win elections.
5trees.bsky.social (@5trees.bsky.social) reply parent
Not to you. But to many, they are new words used today to replace more familiar standards. Don’t reinvent the wheel if it doesn’t make things better. Confusing voters isn’t better and we need to reach every voter. Those in marketing know this and keep the message simple. It works.
5trees.bsky.social (@5trees.bsky.social) reply parent
Why are we departing these poor people to strange foreign and often hostile countries rather than just sending them home or to a place near home that is safe???? Because we are governed by cruel, evil, soulless bastards, and those without an ounce of courage or humanity.
5trees.bsky.social (@5trees.bsky.social) reply parent
You may need a thesaurus since your pool of adjectives seems to be “fucking” limited. By the time folks pull out their “dictionary” and look up the meaning of a word, they have now missed the rest of the message. So not the way to win elections! Trump, I hate to admit, is the master of messaging.
5trees.bsky.social (@5trees.bsky.social) reply parent
Or is it acknowledging that verbal acuity exists on a spectrum and if you are going to govern for everyone, you must use language that everyone will understand? Not just those in academia or the inner beltway but all of we the people. Clear clean easily understood repetitive messaging wins.

Trump’s success convincing the public he is the man with all the answers is that he uses very simple words. Here in rural America, many people don't use words like we see on the list. Perhaps Mr. Nichols is simply suggesting that we do the same and speak about these issues using simpler language?
