As many Americans fear a coming recession, the Biden administration has conveniently decided to say that we can't trust the conventional definition of "recession." Instead, we'll just have to wait until after the midterm elections to know for sure. But that's hardly the first time the left has redefined a word or phrase as part of its terrifyingly Orwellian "strategy" to control language for political purposes.
Glenn Beck posted a list of terms the left is redefining under President Joe Biden alone.
\u201cUnder Biden alone, the Left has tried to redefine woman, fetus, domestic terrorist, insurrection, voter suppression, illegal alien, anti-police, and now recession. What a strategy! When you lose an argument, just change the DICTIONARY!\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201cPure Orwell.\u201d— BradyAlfredsson (@BradyAlfredsson) 1658949754
\u201c@glennbeck \u201cEvery record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.\u201d\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck Oceania has always been at war with East Asia Glenn you must somehow be mistaken.\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck They are literally changing the dictionary.\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck Change the words, change the world.\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
People also reminded Glenn of a few more redefined words or phrases to add to his list:
\u201c@glennbeck don't forget "court packing"\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck @theblaze Don't forget "assault weapon." They changed that also.\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck Don\u2019t forget they also redefined \u201cvaccine\u201dalso.\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck Missed "Plannedemic"\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck Or harvest votes, or pack the court ...\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
\u201c@glennbeck You forgot Mostly peaceful\u201d— Glenn Beck (@Glenn Beck) 1658943416
And don't forget Asian Murder Hornets and Monkeypox:
\u201cWe live in incredibly stupid times.\u201d— Fred the Great (@Fred the Great) 1658875562
\u201cWe're calling on @WHO to act immediately to rename the \u201cmonkeypox\u201d virus. We have a growing concern for the potentially stigmatizing effects that the messaging around the \u201cmonkeypox\u201d virus can have on vulnerable communities.

On the radio program, Glenn Beck ran through an extensive list of other simple terms the left is redefining to fit its narrative, just as the minions of Big Brother in George Orwell's "1984" used "newspeak" to further their totalitarian propaganda.
