But whenever I bring this up, I'm usually told it's not that big a deal.

But, say your name was Christopher.
You had always been called Christopher.
But, suddenlty people started calling you Christof.
Would you just go along with having Your name changed by Others?

Gop pollster, focus group leader, and wordsmith Frank Luntz started this so that our party would no longer be associated with the positive impression that the word democratic leaves with the public.
Along with a compliant media, Luntz got what he wanted by shortening our name.
And we never fought back. Sigh!
