I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    I’m losing track too. These policial people keep making up terms for the people they disagree with and they keep disagreeing with their own groups so those groups split into new groups and then more terms are needed for those new groups name.

    It’s childish.

      It’s essentially just the modern day “commie”, used to carry out mccarthyite witch-hunting against anyone perceived to be “anti-white”.

      It really is adult name calling, and it further polarizes the political spectrum by naming every single fucking mindset and ideology combination you can think of. It’s just not constructive at all.

      We need to talk about ideas and issues and how we can understand and compromise for one another.
