I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I'm not getting more liberal, but I am definitely getting more anti-"conservative," as that term is degraded and debased by the modern Right.

@Popehat It's being debased by journalism, too -- because news orgs are using "conservative" to describe extremism. They're buying the extremists' language wholesale.

@dangillmor @Popehat It's hard to do otherwise when the US House of Representatives includes "conservative" members who are active conspiracy theorists.

At some point, the media can't ignore that and has to describe the political movement based on the behavior of its highest-ranking members (including, obviously, the one that thinks a massively-distributed electoral process run at local and state levels was somehow "stolen" from him).
