A reply from American centrists and centre leftists (i.e. liberals) when a comment is more than one sentence, especially when the subject matter doesn't turn on their Trump hazing instincts. The very cue of "word salad" is an immediate indication that they are intimidated by reading anything past a headline, hence why they ask leftists and
conservatives to "do their research."
This word would not have been invented at all if they read Joe Biden's campaign platform that explicitly rejects Medicare for All; or how Kamala Harris
incarcerated more black people than Trump did; or that the "Afghan Papers" that compiled 20 years of data that reveals all administrations lied and more lives and money are laid to waste.
With great power comes great
responsibility, and staying informed on the issues is a
responsibility of the democratic citizen, ergo they are empowered by it. The very act of demanding someone to read things for them is self-exempting and disempowering. Furthermore, when they select bureaucratic technicalities over populist issues, it allows atrocity and injustice to persevere. The second danger of labelling things "word salads" is that it ridicules and insult to the introduction of new or re-emerging words to adapt to changing realities; it's anti-intellectual to the core!
