Bad news. New Russian electronic warfare tactics are blocking HIMARS legendary accuracy, and drones.

Without further aid packages with military grade NATO electronics, the Ukrainian electronic advantage is over.

Republicans and Orban are literally killing Ukrainian soldiers.

You stopped your quotation before the interesting bit:

Should literally be used for emphasis?: Usage Guide

Sense 2 is common and not at all new but has been frequently criticized as an illogical misuse. It is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary.

Words mean what people decide they mean. There are no objective definitions, only consensus. Where do you think words come from in the first place?
