None of this is surprising. Conservatives have been manipulating language in order to control the conversation for decades. The wanton use of "socialist" in our discourse is just one example.

Well, when even self-professed "socialists" like Bernie Sanders don't the meaning, I can understand why non-socialists wouldn't either. I don't even know why Bernie Sanders insists that he's a socialist when in reality he's a social democrat.
