Words and phrases with lost meaning
RACIST: It used to be a person of any color that through prejudice disliked another person, primarily due to their skin color. Now you are a racist if you think abortion is wrong, white male and voted for any non-(D) candidate. This now extends to global warming and use of petroleum based fuels.
DEMOCRAT: The old time democrats were the separate but not very equal, get in the back of the bus, Jim Crow laws, Colored drinking fountains and the like. Democrats of the not too distant past opposed the 1964 Civil rights act. Now; a Democrat is a Marxist/Socialist that kills babies after birth, oppose the death penalty and all guns are bad. Borders suck and free stuff for illegals including education paid for by the US Citizens.
REPUBLICAN: In the past a small government citizens rights based party. Less interference in peoples and States actions by the feds and less control over business. Now, they are (D) light big spenders shouting "we will give you free stuff too". They are stuck to big government contract businesses like a tick. They have no rudder, some will kill your babies some will take your guns for the good of the children.
WHITE MALE: Used to be the family man minding his own business, working paying taxes and supporting our nation even when the opposing party was in charge of government. Now, you are a racist, homophobic privileged free loader making your way by holding down and cheating all other non-whites.
INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY: You minded your own business, took care of yours as you saw fit, manned up for your errors and tried to get ahead based upon your abilities, work ethic and skills. You understood you had equal opportunities but not a guaranteed outcome. Now, you can't say that anymore. You being a failure is because you are a victim; no matter what you did or did not do. That includes education and even drug abuse.
FASCIST: A system of government tried by Italy that was a total failure; several attempts at defining Fascism have been published. Now you are a Fascist if you disagree with any position held by the (D) party.
MAGA: A political talking phrase MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN used by Donald Trump in his successful campaign to POTUS. Now a moniker for all things evil and racist.
WORKING MAN or BUSINESS MAN: It used to be a guy or gal working to make his/her life better for self and family. A small business man tried to get jobs done, earn a living and supplied jobs needed to serve the customer. Now, the working man is holding back outsiders. The business owner is a freeloader that pays nothing in wealth taxes and must enjoy paying the taxes he pays to Government just to keep the doors open. Remember Hillary said it is not her fault some businesses are under-capitalized and Obama said you did not build that.

Good post, you definitely hit some of the high points. 0 -
SOCIALISM: Long ago we learned The United States should be grateful we had a Capitalist system saving us from control and excesses of government and free to privately produce all goods and services.
LIBERAL SOCIALISM: A physipholsy that does not have the goal of completely abolishing capitalism and replacing it with socialism but instead supports a mixed economy including both government and private ownership of material and the means of production. This will gradually turn into more and more government ownership and soon government control of everything important and only then will the "people" be able to obtain all their needs. FOR FREE and may not need to work to get it.0 -

If I may add DISABLED/HANDICAPPED.
To me, not all that long ago, it meant someone who was blind, missing both legs, or suffered from some other such serious condition. Now it looks like you can be overweight, or have a sore back like 90% of the rest of us, and voila, you get your handicapped sticker and get to go to the front of the line at the buffet while all the others politely wait their turn.0
