    Can we take a page from the German language and compress “every accusation is a confession” into one word that’s easy to fit into any headlines about republicans?

      Conservatism. No need to translate or contrive a funny word

      I propose “chairshooting” after the “who killed Hannibal” meme. It’s a nice double word, like gaslighting.

      Out of curiosity, what is the German word for this?

        I don’t think they have one, but German is known for forming compound words (if that’s the term).

          Just need something like “don’t throw stones. Particularly not when you live in a glass house”
