LEFTISM - UPDATED DEFINITIONS
A few updates for your lexicon of current phrases used in political discourse.
Populism: When the wrong person wins an election, like Brexit or Trump. [Alternative definition:—"a term used by centrist liberals to describe political blowback from the disruption of society caused by their own policies.” (In The New Statesman.)
Nationalism: Expressions of patriotism that liberals don’t like.
The Administrative State: Rule by an over-reaching minority.
Woke (1): The belief that (1) all society is currently and intentionally structured to oppress. (2) any gaps, for any reason whatsoever in the performance between large disparate groups illustrate this, and, (3) the solution is ‘equity’— defined as, "proportional representation and equal participation without any regard to measurable performance difference.
Woke (2): A state of awareness achieved only by those blind/ignorant/dumb enough to find injustice in everything/everywhere except their own behavior.
Racism: Any kind of resistance, conscious or unconscious, to the political programs of the Left.

Threat to democracy: When anyone but democrats or socialists win an election.
Diversity: Where everyone may look different, but all think the same thing, and speaks in identical cliches.
Equity: The phrase leftists use when they reach for your wallet.

Holistic: Leftist adjective for “we have no idea what to do about a problem and want to change the subject.”
Investment: Democrat-speak for “any spending of government money on their favorite constituency groups.”
Root causes: Method of deflecting attention from solutions that can relieve a problem immediately (like locking up criminals instead of playing catch-and-release).

Public-Private Partnership: A half-baked feel-good proposal doomed to inevitable failure resulting from inept management by government officials possessing no business experience. Syn: “urban renewal.”
Latinx: A made-up word that comes before Latiny and Latinz. (Or it’s a long-lost sixth declension.)

Voter Suppression: Elimination of Democrat election fraud.
Divisive: Any opinion/action the Left doesn’t like.
Advocate: People without real jobs whose only function is to find fault and complain.
“Stakeholders”: Self-appointed advocates who demand the right to tell you how to run your company.
“Re-Imagine”: The term used by leftists who think their dreams can become reality simply by a mere act of will. A term conservatives don’t use.
Denier: Label for anyone who dissents from leftist positions that can’t be successfully defended (or who didn’t vote for Liz Cheney)
Reform: Coming from a leftist, “reform” means destroying the existing institution.
Tolerance: A euphemism for “you must abandon all your religious beliefs and moral convictions because we say so.”
Liberal double-standards (random examples): If whites leave central cities, it’s “white flight.” If whites move into central cities, it’s “gentrification.” If banks don’t loan to minority applicants with weak credit scores, it’s “red-lining.” If banks do make loan to minorities, it’s “predatory lending.” If business competitors charge the same price, it’s “collusion.” If one competitor charges a lower price, it’s "predatory pricing.” Are you seeing a pattern here?

You left out my favorite: Recession.
It has always been defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.
But since that happened under Biden we are told that is not recession. When asked what recessioin really is (now), we are told "its complicated".
