Unfortunately, English has no central authority for how it can be used. Dictionaries are reactionary: they make themselves based on how people use words. This is why irregardless has been added and why gender comes with BS definitions.

These people will gaslight us to no end unless their entire ideology is eliminated

How do you propose eliminating an entire ideology? That's a tall order

Well, it doesn't need to be completely eliminated, but if all of its credibility can be eliminated, then the function will be the same. Take flat earthers for example. It used to be the dominant ideology so much so that Galileo was exiled for proposing anything else. Nowadays, while it hasn't completely died out, no one takes flat earthers seriously. If we can do that to the TQ+ as we have already done to flat earth, then they should no longer be a threat

I hope you are right. I worry it will be a long time
