    No, they aren’t, it’s just shorthand.

    That’s like saying that calling someone a “thief” is equivalent to asserting that that person is stolen. Actually pay attention to the absurd logic twisting you are employing here.

      Yes, conservatives DO use bad logic when they call people “illegals”, I’m glad we agree on that, even if you do not understand it.

        So calling people who steal “thieves” is also ‘using bad logic’, then, according to you. Because they’re “people who steal”, and using a single word as shorthand for that is actually just a sinister rhetorical tactic to dehumanize them.

        Absurd.

            As even the simplest analogy demonstrating the fundamental flaw in your reasoning sails clear over your head, lol.

            I’m only unwilling to cling to demonstrable nonsense in the name of preserving my biases. You should try it sometime.
