You can stop anyone you hear from calling it "Lockdown". Just interrupt them right in their tracks. Lockdown is for prisoners. We are Free Peoples.
These are Government Shutdowns. It's high time we branded them as such. Language is important, and a potent tool. Use it to your advantage.
Spread the word - Lockdown THESE ARE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS
No, a 'Government Shutdown' is already a term in use. It means that the government shuts down but businesses remain open and there is little impact on the lives of the people.
Lockdown is what it is. Locking us down. It is a better term.
