"And Lord, that you would protect the freedoms that we all enjoy that we're given to us by you."

EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE

In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. Here are a few prominent examples:

In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:

A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're
The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.


We can now add to the list D.) were, we're
One is the past tense of the verb "to be" and the other is a contraction of "we are."
In Republicanese, neither may be used in what would be the correct context in English.

Noem meant "were," the past tense of the verb "to be," and so wrote it as "we're," the contraction of "we are." Correct only in Republicanese, meaningless in English.
