Scare Words from the Right-Wing (And What They Really Mean)
I want to preface this by saying that after each word, where it says “What it really means”, I am not giving the literal definition of the word for ever word, on some of them I am just stating the actual things that those words are attempting to demonize.

Change:
What they want you to think it means- A radical reshaping of our Government meant to take us away from the foundation that our Founders built this country on.
What it really means- Improving the things in our society and government that don’t work towards helping the “general welfare” of the citizenry, and instead hurts them. Trying to create the “more perfect union” our founders wanted.

Communist/Fascist/Socialist/Tyrannical Government:
What they want you to think it means- You Government wants to control every aspect of your life and you have no control over it.
What it really means- Democratically elected politicians who are not members of the Republican Party and don’t support its conservative principles.

Elitists:
What they want you to think it means- Someone that talks down to you like you’re stupid and that wants to dictate to you how you live your life and spend your money.
What it really means- Someone in a position of power or authority, or someone who might be better educated about, or understand, an issue better than you do.
