Joan Walsh breaks down the origins of the new hot word to describe milder-mannered but no less evil conservatives than Donald Trump:
Then “cuckservative” started showing up in my Twitter mentions last week, after I suggested Donald Trump supporters might not be the brightest bulbs. As I clicked around, I came to a shocking conclusion: I’ve been uncharacteristically downplaying the amount of racism and misogyny powering the right today. The spread of the epithet “cuckservative” is a sign that the crudest psycho-sexual insecurity animates the far right.
“Cuckservative,” you see, is short for a cuckolded conservative. It’s not about a Republican whose wife is cheating on him, but one whose country is being taken away from him, and who’s too cowardly to do anything about it.
OK, that’s gross and sexist enough already, but there’s more. It apparently comes from a kind of pornography known as “cuck,” in which a white husband, either in shame or lust, watches his wife be taken by a black man. Lewis explains it this way: “A cuckservative is, therefore, a race traitor.”
This is not merely a new way to shout “RINO.” It’s a call to make the GOP an explicitly racist party, devoted to the defense of whites. It’s no accident it’s taken off in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign launch/performance art, where he attacked illegal Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals.”
When I saw it last week I just thought it was an awkward coinage of a stupid term. But it's more than that. Much, much more, and it's being embraced wholeheartedly by True Believing White Supremacists.
White nationalist Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute explained Trump’s appeal to Dave Weigel: “a) he is a tougher, superior man than ‘conservatives’ (which isn’t saying much), and b) he seems to grasp the demographic displacement of European-Americans on a visceral level. We see some hope there.”
Rush Limbaugh helped spread the term to the mainstream when he praised Trump like this: “If Trump were your average, ordinary, cuckolded Republican, he would have apologized by now, and he would have begged for forgiveness, and he would have gone away.”
The folks behind the term are also wildly anti-Semitic. Huckabee became a popular target after he claimed President Obama’s Iran deal was “marching Israelis to the ovens.” The guys who bray “cuckservative” hate Obama, of course, but they may hate Israel more.
Many more are embracing the term (like disgraced racist blogger Chuck C. Johnson), so I recommend reading Joan's entire piece.
That word was brought to you by Donald Trump, who is doing us all a favor by exposing Republicans for the white supremacist, racist, women-hating group that they are.
D.L. Hughley has them pegged:
“I think the more racist stuff Trump says, the better he does in the polls,” the comedian said. “If he said n****r, he’d be elected tomorrow. Anybody that takes Trump — Trump being president is like Flavor Flav winning a spelling bee. I just don’t know how they take that seriously.”
free, I live in Texas and a majority of my neighbors are I’ll say “Hispanic”, but guess what every day they are gone and working, I would imagine paying their rent, mortgage and state taxes which tells me more than the freeloaders.
Zimbabwe is gone because they got rid of the makers and filled it with takers
I read the some of the comments to this article...wow, just sick!
JOAN Walsh.
Who cares about 'solely', one populated by a majority of leftists gives you Venezuela soon enough...
Who’s Joan Walsh?
Oh, how I wish I could ask that question.
OK. Great. What does that have to do with anything?
This is something the left loves. They love to play with big bad words and shock. It’s so immature. They called the Tea Party, Taxed Enough Already, teabaggers. Yes, they called my little children and my elderly mom people who bob for other people’s testicles, and they find NOTHING wrong with that.
I once babysat for 5 minutes for a severely intellectually impaired adult man while his caregiver got something. He had very little speech and had the maturity of a two year old. As soon as she left, he smiled at me and said “F...” (The whole word). His caregiver said, “oh, he knows it’s a Bad Word so he likes to shock people.” He was so proud of it like my four year old says the names of the planets and laughs at Uranus.
This is what these idiots are like. Oh, aren’t they sooooo clever and better than??
So a person on the Internet with lefty opinions. Hardly an endangered species. (Or even interesting, for that matter.)
She’s one of their “thought leaders” which just goes to show how shallow their bench really is.
ANaziMoron.
I don’t know....except that it’s not John Walsh.
Someone forgot to take their meds. Anxiety attacks can be hazardous to ones health.
Dang. Now I'm curious. What could your thoughts on this matter possibly be? What could the thoughts about what to do with liberals be from "doorgunner69"...
...oh...
LOL!
Trump being president is like Flavor Flav winning a spelling bee. I just don’t know how they take that seriously.
That’s racist. No, wait. It can’t be. I was said by a black about another black.
“The folks behind the term are also wildly anti-Semitic. Huckabee became a popular target after he claimed President Obama’s Iran deal was “marching Israelis to the ovens.” The guys who bray “cuckservative” hate Obama, of course, but they may hate Israel more.”
Totally inside out.
This couldn’t be more wrong. Cuckservative is a great word and the fact that people are going nuts over it means it hits a nerve.
Instead of separation I’m leaning toward rope and lamp posts.
