31. Oddly enough, they use "harvesting" with a negative connotation when describing Dems collecting

absentee ballots.

But they use the word as a pleasant euphemism for "killing" when it comes to deer hunting. They don't kill the deer. They "harvest" it. Interesting how they use the word to degrade and cast suspicion on one action (collecting ballots), then turn around and use it to sanitize and excuse another action (killing deer).

Full disclosure, my husband hunts deer for food and I eat the deer he kills (guess that makes me a scavenger). But we never says he "harvested" the deer. He killed it, and we ate it.
