OT: What is old is new, again.

[George Thompson]

I notice that Texe-with-an-e is is exposing a plot to "deconstruct" America.

I found it annoyingly pretentious when  "deconstruct", a technical term in an academic fad of the 90s, became simply a synonym for "analyse" or "look closely at"; then noted with amusement that it had descended into the vocabulary of folks with no interest in academic enthusiasms; and now I see that to Texe-with-an-e at least it has come to mean "destroy".
