What is implicit ellipsis?

I know it's a bit redundant to phrase it like this but you'll see what I mean when I explain...

Hym "So, conservative pundits like to do this a lot but it's not just them. They like to use implicit ellipsis. So... When they say 'The woke leftist are grooming kids...' 👈 There is and ellipsis there. BUT it's spoken. So, obviously you can't SEE the ellipsis. The ellipsis is implicit. And what it means is that there is something that they are omitting from the sentence. That's what an 'ellipsis' means. So the FULL sentence is 'They are grooming kids... to believe that sex and gender are separate and that 'gender' is socially constructed and relates to gender roles. In the same way that a catholic is grooming kids to believe that an ontologically real reality monster has at some point interacted with humanity and arbitrated morality, there is no morality beyond this arbitration, and that failure to adhere to this morality deserves punishment... Unless I do it... In which case, me and the reality monster are cool and it will forgive me... Because I've been pre-forgiven' So, that's the trick. Be aware of implicit ellipsis in speech."
