"Red states." (they seem to think these are geographic realities and not statistical abstractions)
"The masses." (they never see themselves as part of this, always separate, distinct, apart, but this is not a pretension they extend to people they don't think are intellectually worthy of being treated like equals)
"Pennsyltucky" (this is specific to my region, it's a way of dismissing the entire state except the two largest and most liberal cities, as a bunch of inbred hicks who don't know what's good for them)
"Inbred hicks" (this is what they call people they want you to dismiss and hate instead of organize)
"Hicks" (same thing)
"Bunch of rednecks" (same thing... it's to dismiss their alienation, and obfuscate the difference between sympathy and empathy)
"Idealist." (This is what they call anyone who disagrees with them, as though ideals are inherently a bad or impractical thing, and not values one should fight for against whatever constitutes "reality" in that moment... notably, they use against Leftists, but not against fascists or theocrats, they tend to think of those tendencies as "legitimate modes of politics in a democracy")
"But that would be anarchy!" (GOOD.)
"Adult in the room." (What they expect you to be, and what they think they are)
"Bipartisan consensus" (this conveniently ignores the many horrible things that have been at one time or another a matter of bipartisan consensus)
"Both sides" (this is a form of positionality, where the centrist or moderate casts himself as somehow ideologically neutral with respect to power)
