Reply to comment by oldar4 in Arapahoe County to provide housing for former inmates experiencing homelessness by AudibleNod

It's just so hilarious to me that of all terms to be co-opted by the right and turned into a colloquial insult, when you spend 10 seconds actually thinking about the meaning it becomes clear that they just want their opposition to roll over and "go back to sleep"

That's not really much of an argument. It's like if someone who supports abortion sarcastically refers to the other side as "pro-lifers," then someone who opposes abortion goes "Ha, you admit you're pro-death!"

You're right, this was less an argument and more an observation. To that end, out of all the examples I can think of, this is the most blatant "saying the quiet part out loud" that comes to mind.
