Liberal euphemisms

Liberal euphemisms are an attempt to use politically correct terminology in place of more accurate descriptions. By using euphemisms favorable to their worldview, liberals are able to steer an argument or debate in their favor, even when they advocate for what would otherwise be an unpopular or indefensible position.

Examples

• Left-wingers frequently refer to themselves as "liberals" or "progressives", and they avoid the less pleasant but more accurate terms of "socialist" or "leftist"
• The terms "abortion", "euthanasia", and "assisted suicide" are all euphemisms for murder, the immoral taking of a human life.
• "Gay" is a euphemism for "homosexual"
• "Undocumented immigrant" is a euphemism for "illegal alien"
• Liberals frequently use the term "immigration reform" as a vague euphemism for "amnesty for illegal aliens"
• The terms "gun reform" and "school safety", among other similar terms, are euphemisms for gun control and even gun confiscation through weapons bans
• "Progress" is a euphemism for creeping socialism
