(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Apparently duped by the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine the word “recession” in alliance with their comrades in the corporate media and Big Tech, nearly two thirds of supporters of President Joe Biden do not believe that America is undergoing an economic decline.
Out of all Americans, a mere 58% believe that we are currently in a recession despite the recent announcement of a second straight quarter of GDP decline–the definition of a recession, Breitbart reported.
But out of those who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020, only 38% believe that we are in a recession, revealing a disdain for the reality of the economic hardship around them. Among supporters of former President Donald Trump, 82% admit that the nation’s economy has declined.
The numbers hold along party lines as well, with 76% of Republicans believing that the recession is a recession to only 44% of Democrats recognizing that fact.
The poll found no clear data supporting a major divide along other demographic lines, such as race, sex, or degree of education.
The politicization of the word and the subsequent redefinition reveal the Left’s willingness to alter language in order to construct a reality in which whatever they happen to do can be defined as successful.
Their desperation has only increased as the 2022 midterms approach, wherein the Republicans have a real shot at taking both the House of Representatives and the Senate, which would massively frustrate the Biden regime.
Florida press secretary Christina Pushaw pointed to the Left’s long history of redefinitions in a recent tweet.
Just a few words that liberals have redefined:
"recession"
"woman"
"vaccine"
"democracy"
"healthcare"
"racist"
"mostly peaceful" https://t.co/XINob7S6in— Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) July 27, 2022
