Description from store

The web is now filled with political doublespeak--euphemisms intended to make undesirable actions seem anodyne. With this extension you can start turning the tide. Installing the app adds a button to your Chrome window that, when clicked, will open a duplicate of the current tab but with doublespeak replaced by realtalk.

Currently replaced terms (v0.2) include:
- adversary: anybody
- extrajudicial: illegal
- rendition: kidnapping
- post-truth: lying
- fake news: propaganda
- alt-right: white supremacist

Additions to this dictionary are welcome.
