We do let them control speech, don’t we. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard my conservative friends off-handedly use the term “identify as” as if it’s been in the lexicon for decades. And don’t get me started on the way people of all political persuasions refer to a large group of people as “the masses”. This is an old Marxist term but is nearly universal now. It’s a demeaning term and predictably, the person using it never “identifies” as one of “the masses”. We need to recover the rational use of language.

Or "top of mind"... can't tell you how often I hear that now as stated by KJP when covering for Biden calling out dead people in the audience
