Hillary called us Deplorables. Biden called us garbage.
Then we were existential threats to democracy.
Followed by fans of oligarchs.

Nihilist sounds sort of exotic and classy, in a way.

Definition:
A nihilist is someone who believes that life is inherently meaningless and that traditional values, beliefs, and institutions are baseless. They often reject concepts like truth, morality, and purpose, viewing them as unfounded or nonexistent. Nihilism can manifest in various forms, including metaphysical, moral, and existential nihilism, each with its own specific focus on meaninglessness.

To not believe is the nothingness of the modern Left is to be a “nihilist” ... as holding to truth and beauty (or even just facts) make us “nihilist” in the minds of those who reject all facts ... as well as truth and beauty,

Or to put a paraphrase in their Left wing, mealy mouths: I may not know art but I know so I know what it looks like just the same ... and it’s drag queen story hour!

To quote Arthur Dent : “I think I’ll go have a little lie down somewhere...”
