I noticed that people today are more likely to speak in terms of states of being rather than actions. For example, someone now says "He went no-contact," rather than "He has not been in contact."

Once you notice this rhetorical okeydoke -- by which any critique of Trump is magically transmuted into a personal critique of his voters, which is ipso facto out of bounds -- you can't stop noticing it everywhere.
