I'm pretty sure it's derived from cuckold.

  This, it has nothing to do with cuckservative

    I think that the evolution would be cuckold to cuck, with cuckservative a derivative after cuck was already established.

  From the link: > Cuck began its life as cuckold, and when exactly its shortening became de rigeur will likely remain a mystery unless any intrepid data adventurer can scrape the entire log of 4chan from 2013/14 without losing the will to live. Looking at the normalised graph above, you can see that the misogynists of TheRedPill have been using "cuckold" since their subreddit began, and that it appears to have been shortened to "cuck" in 4chan at some point in 2014. The term emerged in the manosphere, and its misogynistic connotations have stuck with it ever since.

    I would take issue with misogynistic as it 99% of the time is used for a man...

      “Cuckold” is a derogatory term directed at men whose derogatory nature is itself grounded in a misogynistic worldview in which women are property and making sexual use of one belonging to another man is a sign of strength while having the one that belongs to you being made use of by another man is a sign of weakness. That it is used about a man does not mean it is not misogynistic.
