That's your own characterization, and not universal. I've personally seen the term more often in non-conservative forums and circles. Not that it matters to your point, which I get and agree with.
- r2_pilot 4y agoRegarding this phenomenon, it may be that you don't see that term in conservative forums because they don't want to use it, whether because it telegraphs their intent or they don't want to use the same words as liberals (this increasingly drastic polarization of language is a key point of Lingua Tertii Imperii... A book I started reading before 2015 and had to quit reading because frankly it bothered me how much it started to resemble current times in the US). So its absence isn't altogether surprising.
