Two to three times a week, I watch a few minutes of Fox. I'm a regular on MSNBC, especially Rachel and Lawrence; I check out CNN a few times daily.
For the longest time I've noticed the different level of language used on Fox vs. the level of language used on MSNBC and CNN.
Fox vocabulary is geared to the high school dropout. MSNBC, CNN, and Democrats in general talk at the Master's and PhD level.
For example, MSNBC and CNN talk incessantly about "misogyny". WTF is misogyny? I guarantee you, if you stand in front of WalMart and ask 100 people to define the word, they will have no idea what you are talking about but we Democrats all over misogyny -- and no one understands what we are talking about.
Ditto for "infrastructure," "international alliances," "autocrat/autocracy," and dozens of other terms that you will not hear on Fox.
And how about "a woman's right to choose" versus "ripping a baby from the womb".
Then there's "people of color," "Latinx," "South Asian" vs. "them."
And I still don't know what "cis gendered" is . . . when I hear anyone talking about "cis gender," I just shake my head, tune out, and think "Well, shit, we lost that argument."
Democrats speak like college professors and lawyers, not like real people. Pay attention next time you watch MSNBC or CNN.
