The constant need to continue renaming people so as to make them feel better about themselves (or something) never ceases to entertain. My favorite is Gavin Newsom deciding to rename criminal gangs, "organized groups of folks":
I do find it "bothering" though, that accomodating illegal immigration seems to be taking priority over the education of children. Doesn't that tell you that things are getting just a little bit out of hand? As a parent yourself, wouldn't you find it a little exasperating?
While I'm no stranger to the use of pejoratives, I do recognize they serve no useful purpose and are overall harmful within society. And while I might be caught using one against criminals (people who do harm to society like Trump), I am less likely to use them against people willing to risk their lives crossing thousands of miles with children in tow to ensure their survival by taking the worst of the worst jobs in a safer country.

But then along came Dickhead who made it more difficult to cross back and forth so when they did manage to finally come across, they then stayed. Reagan used them to his political ends to garner support from those who knew next to nothing about the food on their table other than to complain when the price of chicken per pound went up a nickel.
