Lost Words

The words banned by the Trump regime offer a “glossary for resistance and rebuilding the world they are destroying”. They expose how “MAGA loves simplicity and hates complexity: the government is reduced to the dictats of one man, America is reduced to a single cultural identity, the role of women is reduced to a single purpose (reproduction), and the economic system is reduced to a single function (production).” Small suggests that the “antidote to this hellscape” is “the defence of language, minority language, and gorging ourselves on the complexity and nuance of life and the natural world… If the MAGA phenomenon is a belief system it is untouchable by rational discourse. But you can create and conjure an alternate from their blueprint. We do not need to be the victim” (a banned word).
