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.”
Actually, while I do not care for the word, it is an accurate reflection of the GOP’s attitude to its core constituents. They need conservatives who will vote the lesser evil because they are afraid to try and sell an actual conservative - although “it works every time it’s tried”, as Rush says.
Mind if I borrow that one? That's damn funny!
Was this new name/label even focus group tested before they published it?
Apparently this dipSTALIN doesn't know about an old word 'cuckold'.
Race ain't got nothin' to do with it. Meme harder.
Just remember, Democrat delegates booed God and Israel at the 2012 DNC presidential convention when they were added to the party platform against the wishes of the Democrat delegates.
Milo explains it all here.
The gist:
Milo: On 4chan, “cuck” is used as a general term of abuse, to describe someone who caves in, surrenders, or sells out his core supporters. (His base, in political parlance.) 4chan’s founder Christopher Poole, for example, is called a “cuck,” not for any racially-charged reason, but because he capitulated to outside pressure to ban controversial discussion topics on the website.
Indeed
Until the left started throwing around this term I had never encountered it. As usual the commies make crap up and then say see see we told you so.
Spineless John the drunken golfer and Wimpy Mitch the Reid beard are traitors not cuckservatives (or whatever the made up term is)
And of course Joan Walsh is soooo in touch with the conservative movement in the coutry. /s
The commies always try and smear their opponenets because they KNOW that their system does NOT work
You don’t have to go that far.....Just look at Mexifornia which is mostly leftists.
Don’t fall for the trap. They want, nay NEED, the right to start embrassing the term so they can then point and say see I told you so. It is the left branding with that term and it is not for reasons that are legit. They MUST have people thinking in terms of race and gender or they lose
IT is JOAN Walsh, not JOHN Walsh. Big difference!
It’s going to end with our side being herded into the camps, if all goes according to their plan.
Does no one else see the inevitable outcome? They want us to be meek workers to support their regime, but if we raise a cuss they want us dead.
Just a liberal working hard to paint Trump as racist.
Oh, boy. We found another one in Karoli (KKK) Kuns, a 40 IQ, lobotomized pod person who sees the (democrat) klan behind every lamppost.
You don’t have to imagine it. Just read history of Stalin’s reign of terror. That’s the end game here.
He is also wrong in attributing the word to Trump
Well, now we truly understand that the reason they won’t run conservatives is because they have no intention of running conservatives, and they never will. The repugs (GOPe) have got to be destroyed.
Like with the ‘teabagging’ these people go directly to an arcane, thoroughly disgusting interpretation of a word that most of the people who have used it are probably unaware of. Says more about them than the word, or the people that have used it.
The way I see it, it’s getting to the point where one side or the other is going to have to be herded into camps. I’d rather it not be me.
Are you a Republican who sees the politician you voted for, who is supposed to be faithful to you and your interests, in bed with the Democrats, and you're somehow OK with that? Then you're a Cuckservative.
