NEWSPEAK: "Change", "Politics of Change" ORIGINAL MEANING: NEW MEANING: No one knows what it means. Was there ever a candidate who didn’t claim to be partial to change?It was the media’s favourite catch phrase in the last US campaign (much as “soccer moms” and “gender gap” were in campaigns past). Barack Obama rode the Change Express all the way to the White House. As Jonah Goldberg noted in his book, “Liberal Fascism,” “change” was a leitmotif of both National Socialism and Italian fascism. The Politics of Change probably comes down to: We’ll take the folding money. You can keep the change.
