its a slogan as applied in 2020 regarding covid
a whole lot of predefined outcomes with no tested theories of actionable
data behind the claims
dont conflate definitions and actual application
examples:
antifascist
follow the science
peaceful protest
equality
stacking the court
genocide

just because a word or phase has a definition doesnt mean the application
matches it in any way shape or form
