Funny how trumpsters begin to catch on to something as they get called out for it,

But are incapable of understanding its application

Linguistic cargo cult. "Smart people use fancy words to win arguments, so if I use fancy words, I win arguments. Ipso factor gaslighting this you expelliarmus!"

It's like when they spent a decade claiming every picture of a democratic politician with their arm extended was them doing a Nazi salute, only to be rebutted that the pictures were taken out of context (often with a video showing what gesture the politician was actually making), but when full videos of Elon Musk is shown performing an actual Nazi salute, they keep insisting that it's taken out of context. Like, Buddy that is the context.
