"Drain the swamp" means different things to different people.

• InitialLastName 9y ago
  One of the joyous things about political messaging lately! Other dual-meaning phrases that have been abused of late: * Fake news * voter fraud * Election rigging * Collusion * Corruption What else do we have?

  Never got the meaning to "drain the swamp". Is there a negative perception about having wetlands?

    Swamps have a lot of standing water which creates a lot of mosquitoes that carry diseases. Draining a swamp reclaims land and prevents kids from dying.

      I see. I always thought it was just, "swamps are smelly, okay?"

    "The swamp" is a metaphor for DC politics. Unpleasant to navigate and very slow moving.
