You misunderstand OP. They seem to be a leftist, not a conservative. They find it ironic that the word recuperate (which has origins in the left) was recuperated or "sanewashed" by this article. It's actually interesting and kind of amusing. Sanewashing is a recuperation of recuperation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_(politics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_(politics)
