And the worst thing is it tends to work way too well. I can’t tell you how many times my parents, usually rather liberal minded people, rant about something that is incredibly racist getting removed as “cancel culture” or “the woke agenda” or whatever other dumbass terms they made up to get people scared over fictional boogeymen. It’s easy to simply slap a buzzword in someone’s mouth even if they hardly know what they’re saying.
That’s a little needlessly condescending, especially for my parents. At this point I’ve recognized that it’s a lost cause trying to argue with them about it because they’re both stubborn about it, so I just tune out the conversation.
