OTA updates was a bit of snideness on my part, I will admit. It seems these days the more online elements of the political sides get new vocabulary to use every few months. Right wingers tend to focus on in group signaling through esoteric memes (based, peaty, keyed, "the breakfast question") while left wingers generally focus on new ways to ingroup signal through painting their enemies negatively, christo-fascist being the latest example.
- Apocryphon 2y agoThat phrase probably dates back to 2004 or so, the same time "Islamofascist" was coined.
- techostritch 2y agoYes, I’ve heard the term Christo-fascist thrown around recently, as I said most recently from Joe Rogan, I probably wouldn’t use the term had I not heard it thrown about recently but the point isn’t really the term. There is definitely a contingent of the Republican party who fits that description and that contingent definitely has power, are they the dominant power? I guess that we’ll just have to wait and see.
