In case you need to be reminded, the point here is diluting the impact of conversations about "charges" so that they can say things like, "Biden charges didn't mean anything just like trump charges don't, America isn't interested in wasting time on this, let's move on"

Part of what fascism does is BREAK language.

And yeah, talking to fascists like they're people is playing into their shit.
