Don't know him, but his statement is absolutely true.
Democratic policies have destroyed just about every city in the US by creating generations of unproductive, dependent, and broken families with absolutely no motivation to do anything other than just sit around or participate in criminal activities. And no one in the mainstream ever calls the Dems on this mess they created, lest they tempt the race card getting tossed. Saw this piece after the Baltimore riots and thought it did a fairly decent job, but of course you wouldn't see this message in the mainstream media: Baltimore Is a Democrat Problem, Not America’s Problem |

Quoted:
No it isn't. Yes, it is. noun: malapropism the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar-sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect, as in, for example, “dance a flamingo ” (instead of flamenco ). "Decimate" is only an example of semantic shift/drift, because its change is likely unrelated to its phonological proximity to "destroy". A malapropism is a specific form of semantic drift that follows only from a words that have similar sound, but largely unrelated definition. |

It's a little too late to fight the good fight and get the word back to its original Roman meaning. Google noted that definition as historical; dictionary.com goes as far to say it's obsolete.

Think before you decimateSo given that these two meanings of decimate appeared almost simultaneously, why are we so obsessed with assigning the punitive meaning to the word? A likely answer is that people are falling prey to what is known as the Etymological Fallacy, a tendency to believe that a word’s current meaning should be dictated by its roots. Unfortunately for the etymological purists, decimate comes from the Medieval Latin word decimatus, which means ‘to tithe’. The word was then assigned retrospectively to the Roman practice of punishing every tenth soldier. So, next time you attend a symposium (etymologically, drinking partner) with someone sinister (etymologically, left-handed), and they launch into a tirade about the misuse of this word, you’ll be able to decimate their argument in no time at all. |
