2017 is the year I got clean and stopped snorting crystal meth and shooting up tranquilizers, so really it’s more like 2017 is the year I stopped experiencing head trauma

Frank Luntz is the guy that pioneered the name changes from Global Warming to Climate Change and the Estate Tax to the Death Tax. He is a slimy disgusting monster who spends all day asking people if they want to be more fascist, then acting surprised on the evening news that the country is going downhill. Famously he was one of the big banner holders for the "the incivility of this election is distressing" movement in 2016. Those people are all dumb, but most everyone is. It's the way he runs the groups that needles people into acting even more stupid than normal.

Because by changing the entire world’s perception of the issue from something that sounds alarming to more neutral language, he has changed the conversation from “we’ve got to do something about this!” to “the climate is just changing, that’s normal, climates change!”

These are the tools the GOP has been using to shape the conversation since the civil war

fair enough, i always interpreted/heard it as "it involves many more aspects than just temperature going up" but i can see how that works also

George Carlin had a bit about soft, euphemistic language and its tendency to make people sleep easier without having actually addressed the problem situation.

Perhaps this applies there.

I'm sorry they roasted your focus group.


I can't imagine the kinds of people who are 100% gonna vote, 100% gonna vote major party, but can't decide which one. The only type of person who makes sense to me are liberal-leaning rich people who have to pick between their weakly-held cultural values and a tax cut.

That's right, but of course the response immediately became "oh, you can't even use a consistent term, backpedaling are we? How can we possibly believe all these SO-CALLED climate scientists in that case, etc etc"

Frank Luntz did tell Republicans to use "climate change" because it sounded less bad and as ohrwurm said it sounds more "natural".

People were saying "he got us out of Afghanistan!" but now it's gone from one kind of shithole to an entirely new kind of shithole, plus he's rattling the saber at Russia, so he can't even bank that anymore
