Why is it more effective to says Paul Ryan is mentally ill than to say he is the enemy of most Amercans?

1/ Yes, but Orwell warns that this kind of degradation in our political speech degrades our thinking. Already far down that road
-
2/ Also, misuse & overuse of these terms has drained them of meaning & political impact. Might as well call him "poopypants".
-
3/ Real & accurate language still has power. Ryan is a servant of the 1% and enemy of most Americans. Clear, simple, powerful.
