I have noticed the proliferation of something that at first went unnoticed, then I misunderstood, and then I heard it for what it has become…
Politics of Dysphemism: A dysphemism is a hateful term used as a nominative substitute in order to disparage someone
Political Correctness has all but criminalized certain slurs, and has rendered rhetoric so precarious that one is likely to be retroactively shamed by someone’s invented umbrage.
Society has become sensitive to indignation on many fronts, yet it is allowing other offensive slurs to pass uncontested.
At first I was merely annoyed by the apparent stupidity of it all.
Opponents of our president sling invective at him in order to besmirch his image. Slurs like “Nazi”, “Hitler”, “Fascist”, “White Supremacist”, , and a litany of abhorrent terms have been thrown at him. Conservatives are reviled as “Alt-Right”.
At first I dismissed it as loose-cannon Leftist mudslinging that has become the trademark stratagem of the modern Democratic Party.
Then, I thought they were committing verbicide by cheapening the historical significance of the words. We who have been taught history before the demise of our education system know the significance of these terms. I was actually concerned that their widespread use would soften the impact of the terms. After all, the terms were seemingly over-the-top mudslinging. Wrong again…
It came together after the obligatory media outrage concerning the “Charlottesville Riots”. NO one was allowed to deviate from the narrative that the responsibility of the violence lay solely with the white supremacists without being denounced for making “a moral equivalent” to the hated “Nazi Scum”. Then I took notice to how the media portrays “Nazi Scum” as people who deserve to be beaten to death on sight.
This unapologetic dehumanization concerned me. Even though I oppose the opinions of the “Unite the Right” demonstrators, I certainly don’t support how society condones violent confrontation with them. I researched the objective report of the law firm, Hunton & Williams LLC, who audited the police departments involved that day. Without going into the whole thing, the vehicular homicide denouement of the day was set into motion and escalated by people who were not the possessors of the permit to demonstrate.
The aforementioned widespread use of dysphemism, undeservedly applied to conservatives, is intentional. Seeing how white supremacists are vituperated to the point of dehumanization such that society condones hatred, violence, and even murder of such “Nazi Scum”, I decided to speak up.
The frequent application of such terms is intended to transfer that violent societal rancor to all conservatives. Though it is amusing to watch distraught Leftist sheep shout toward the sky in anguish over the fall of the Clinton Machine, the escalating collective emotion is alarming.
To the Leftists, Conservatives are no longer fellow American political rivals within a wonderful country. You may not think much of it, but the term “Alt-Right” carries a great deal of hatred. It is a modern term for Conservatives portrayed as hated enemies who bear the responsibility for all racism, sexism, etc. Conservatives are now hated more by their political opposition than foreign aggressors.
Here is what conservatives need to do:
Anytime, and I mean IN EVERY INSTANCE, you hear anyone make reference to a Conservative as a racist-affiliated dysphemism, imagine the shouts of umbrage one would get after uttering a racial slur. Stand up and fight back.
…Stand up and fight back:
- Stop the conversation IMMEDIATELY.
- Denounce the slur in the strongest terms.
- Reaffirm your denunciation vociferously, because they will invariably scoff.
- Demand they renounce the use of such hateful language to smear Conservatives.
- Reiterate the demand, because they will undoubtedly try to laugh it off.
- If they don’t recant, end the conversation and walk away.
Retaliate with all the fury reciprocal to the billingsgate they have unabashedly spewed since the 2016 election.
DO NOT accept their comparison of Conservatives to white supremacists! None of us should.
We need to quash this vilification and dehumanization of Americans who disagree with the Left. It is more deleterious that it currently appears. “Social Justice” activists are currently assaulting the hated “Nazi Scum” with impunity.
Don’t let that happen to us.

I see Democrats are denouncing President Trump for “dehumanizing MS-13 members by calling them Animals”. I also see how ESPN reporter Jemele Harris has won an award more or less for calling President Trump a “white supremacist”. Think about how “white supremacist” evokes instant hatred and spite to the point of justifying aggression and murder. Racists are dehumanized on TV as socially accepted candidates for justified murder by protagonists on a regular basis. I would counter with the claim that “animal” is a far less dehumanizing term than “white supremacist”. Who, indeed, is guilty of dehumanizing?
