I've noticed a trend in terminology

A rather narrow view of this, I'd think.

Really, than why was it done? Done so quickly?

That’s 2, and one is a nobody

• AOC did call red states “oppressed.”
• NYC does have a projected $5B gap — normal for big cities.
• Transit crime is not currently spiking; Fox uses outdated data.
• The sanitation failure happened, but it was one storm, not the norm.
• The subway murder is real, but Fox uses it to imply a broader collapse.
• The article is fact‑based but heavily framed to maximize outrage.

Tell that to your MAGA comrades, don’t know how many times I’ve heard them say black districts were racist

Anything divided along racial lines is, by definition, racist. Duh.

Tennessee took the City of Memphis, an urban area 65% black, and divided it into three separate district dominated by a white rural populace who heavily favors Republicans. Memphis lost their Congressional representative who identified with their interests and views. Not the intent of democracy

Bullshit, like I said, one district will likely have a black woman in place of a white man. You just don't like the fact that the black person is a Republican.

Of late, I've noticed a trend among the Left and Democrats to reframe how they label states. It used to be red and blue states with red being Republican led and blue Democrat led.

What I am seeing is a switch by Leftists in the Democrat(ic) party to using terms like oppressor or oppressed states versus democratic ones. That is, the Left is moving towards labeling red states as "oppressive" or "fascist" and blue states as "Democratic."

It is a typical reframing by the Left when they recognize they're losing a debate. People are fleeing blue states for red ones and it's seriously threatening the Left's grip on power and gaining more power. So, they're upping the rhetoric to inflammatory levels in hopes of scaring people into voting for them.

It's also leftists doing their typical projection tactic.

"Losing the debate"? LOLOL - what's the debate question: "How do you like paying $6 for gas"? Answer: Democrat: "I hate it" Trump voter: "What's gas?".

I'm not paying $6 for gas ... gas is currently trading for roughly $3.50/gallon. If you're paying $6 per gallon, then your leftist controlled state is taxing the ever loving piss out of it.
