Tired of getting treated like an idiot at election time? Me, too. Mostly it happens with slogans and buzzwords designed purely to trigger you rather than help you think through an issue that needs some thought.
The current example that bugs me enough to deserve its own column is the casual lobbing of the term "Class Warfare," an insultingly manipulative way to bring down tax measures #66 and 67 on the January ballot in Oregon. The next time you hear somebody using the phrase in speech or print, I hope you'll stand up and be clear that it doesn't work with you.
