As a former democrat, i can try to shed some light on this.

We have this philosophy that if you talk about something, it will result in that something coming true.

Like, if we had a conversation in the 2000s about how we may not like a particular aspect about Islamic extremism.. then someone who was a xenophobe islamophobia might hear that, and it would validate their biggoted opinions!


So, we can't talk about the negative things, because that just re-enforces biggots!

This perverts literally everything that we do or think. We constantly are trying to correct our language, so it can't be perceived as offensive.

We constantly want to silence anyone who says anything that can be perceived as an attack against a social group.

Its why they say things like, "the economy is doing great! It's just transitory!" because we can't stand the idea of validating someone who dislikes Bidens opinions.

Look at how they talk about literally anything, and you'll see this behavior is not just a trend but it's a way of life.
