@AOC follows the example of #DonaldTrump - #Hyperbole (calling 'holding cells' "#ConcentrationCamps") #Hyperbolic

I don't know if Blue Collar Logic actually even used the word "hyperbole" (much less 'compared "the Green New Deal-er" to the Republican "vaccine booster"'), but Mr. Trump has famously said how 'hyperbole' is a very-useful tool in moving the will of the masses ... compare some little error to an infamous huge crime, and people you tell about it will want to see the little-mistake maker come to pay for the huge transgression!

That word ('Hyperbole')—I felt like there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the linked video builds ...

The word “|Hyperbole|” is built on ancient words that mean “Beyond + to |Throw (|Reach, |Cast, the |Stroke of a |Missile, |Bolt, |Beam)” (root of #Hyperbola (|Pair of Curves Formed by the Intersection of a |Plane & a |Double-Cone), |Extravagance).
