I fucking hate the idea of reclaiming words. It's neber worked before. The best we can do is take the power out of a word by ignoring it. Reclaiming does the exact opposite.

Are you sure? Because "fake news" worked like magic turning Trump's supporters against the press.

What? lol! Fake news an expression long before Trump said it and the progessive elite had a meltdown and popularized the term. The press has been absolute dogshit for decades.

Edit: Just wanted to add that your response is highly political to a non political comment. This wasn't about Trump and comparing "Fake news" to reclaiming of words would take a page to accurately mock in it's inaccuracy.
