    Any single word in quotation marks. Reread sentences with any single word in quotes as if some conservative know-it-all is rolling their eyes and scoffing at these quoted terms. Putting them in quotes quarantines them from having to be taken seriously and is setting them up for criticism. If they didn’t use quotes for terms they didn’t like, they might be accused of being complicit in the “woke mind virus” that has stupid people so terrified.
