God damn the right is idiotic and doesn’t understand what words mean or even what a dictionary is to go solve the problem. So embarrassing.

It's not stupidity, it's an intentional effort to destroy the movement through semantic destruction. The word is intentionally used outside of its original meaning, used as a shorthand for "bad" to make any mention of the movement bring on negative associations. It's what happened with 'woke'. They saw 'being aware of social injustices' as a threat and so began a campaign to reduce its meaning to "leftist thing that's bad"
