Missed Conceptions – Political Slogans October 29, 2021October 29, 2021 truthunshackled_65suut Share on facebookTweet on twitter 7 Created on October 29, 2021 Mis-Conceptions - Political Slogans 1 / 5 "Replacement Theory" is the theory that: Employers are replacing whites with immigrant job applicants Democrats are using immigration to gain more voters Growth in the Hispanic population is threatening white control All of the above While it is true that the Hispanic population is growing faster than any other group due in part to the shrinking white birth rate, there is no evidence of a conspiracy by the Democrats or American corporations to replace the white workforce or voter base. 2 / 5 "Black Lives Matter" means: White lives don't matter Police lives don't matter Blacks are being targeted by the police There is abundant evidence that in some communities that police target black Americans and have a cavalier attitude toward their lives. The term "Black Lives Matter" was created to push back on that reality. This attitude is most common areas where poor black neighborhoods are policed by a predominantly white police force. 3 / 5 "Defund the police" means: Zero out police funding Reduce police funding Provide police alternatives There is no general agreement "Defund the police" means different things to different people. Unfortunately, there are some who literally mean to close some police department. For others, it means to remove military gear from police departments. For others it means to substitute Social Workers. However, there is no universal agreement on what it means. 4 / 5 "Trickle Down" economics is an attempt to provide jobs and financial support for working level people, by providing tax breaks for businesses. True False The term "Trickle Down Economics" was called "Voodoo Economics" by H.W. Bush, and was shown to not work during the Reagan Administration. It was later implemented by both George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump during their administrations, but by then it was known that all it would do was make GOP donors more wealthy. Even its "inventor" David Stockman admitted that it did not work. 5 / 5 If a person says they are "Pro-Life", it means that they believe in protecting human life. True False When the term "anti-abortion" did not provide traction for people opposed to abortion rights, they invented the term "pro-life" to replace "anti-abortion". However, the conservatives who refer to themselves as "Pro-Life" often oppose abortion even to save the life of the mother. They also may favor the right to own assault rifles, even though they are often used in mass shootings. Your score isThe average score is 60% LinkedIn Facebook Twitter VKontakte 0% Restart quiz
