Political Lefties have been proactive in framing social debates with deceptive speech in Orwellian fashion. 
This morning (August 5, 2026) there is a flurry of headlines proclaiming that voters have pivoted to the left . 
Wrong! 
They haven't "pivoted." 
Reflecting their wickedness, they used to portray Republicans as heartless souls who push wheelchair-bound granny off the cliff. 
Actually, it is they who have plunged into the dark Dem chasm to consort with tormented evil spirits trapped in the commie abyss. 
Also wrong: their pivot- cum -plunge is not to the "left." 
See how sneaky those lazy MSM bastards are? 
They are gradually, but inexorably, trying to redefine the parameters (or "perimeters" if one prefers) of debate. 
David Axelrod, Joe Manchin, Rahm Emmanuel...even James Carville, are immersed in the "left." 
What the primary voters in Michigan, in particular, plunged into, was the far-far-left. 
Even that phrase doesn't do justice to the anti-American postulates of the commies. 
Actually, they are, in a sense, anti-human , given their disdain for the traits reflected by the better angels of our nature - for example: creativity, innovation, industry, individuality, self-awareness...and, get this, humble appreciation for our great national holidays. 
(Why would anyone like Francesca Hong, for example, even come here if they don't rejoice in the Thanksgiving festivities? 
Get the heck out of our country.) 
Voters "pivoted to the left"?! 
Too bad their neuronal activity doesn't pivot likewise, for, the left-side of the brain engages in logical reasoning and analysis.
