These terms are effectively dogwhistles, with whatever meaning du jour the propaganda machine decides.
A large number of people simply use words as weapons, for effect. Expletives detached from meaning.
If you asked one of them for a meaning, you might get a real word salad, concealing the unspoken meaning basically: "someone who supports Foreigners, Minorities, Women, Socialists, Gays and Liberals" [0]
Since the Lee Atwater "Southern Strategy" days the poor have been conned into supporting the very oligarchs who take away their health care, education, jobs and opportunity.

- matchbok3 2mo agoWeird, given how more non-whites voted for the GOP last time around. It's almost as if things are not as simple as you are hoping them to be.
- Roland303 2mo agoNo its even simpler, they voted to be white.
- k310 2mo agoMisogyny, machismo, braggadocio. Many people sadly vote for someone who expresses their fears rather than their hopes. I've been to a lot of these rodeos.
- matchbok3 2mo agoWhat an odd view of your fellow citizen. To simplify their aspirations as simple fear rather than a complex, human, genuine need. My only question if this: is this tactic working for your side? Given your historic loses to horrible people (Trump) and the general public rejecting your policies (open borders, identity politics, etc), do you think it's the right approach?
- tenuousemphasis 2mo ago>open borders I see you're not a serious person.
- matchbok3 2mo agoPlease look at the border crossings by year, and the asylum nonsense and get back to me champ.
- locknitpicker 2mo ago> Weird, given how more non-whites voted for the GOP last time around. Looking at people like Clarence Thomas, who even voted to eliminate voting rights protection in states with a history of racial voter discrimination, that doesn't sound surprising.
