Vocal Trump supporters are demonizing Renee Good, her partner and their allies, with some even using an acronym: AWFUL, or Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.
In the days since a federal agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, Republican officials and conservative commentators have called the 37-year-old white woman “very violent,” a “deranged lunatic woman” and a “domestic terrorist.”
Some right-wing influencers have latched onto a different word — or rather an acronym: Ms. Good, they have said, was AWFUL.
“An AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her,” the conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media. “Progressive whites are turning violent. ICE agents have the right to defend themselves.”
From a co-host on an AM radio show in Orlando, Pierce Outlaw, to an army of internet trolls, the acronym has taken off. Mr. Outlaw called AWFULs “the scourge of polite society.” The term popped up on the internet Wiktionary this month as AWFL, without the “U.”

Seems to me if those 2 were affluent they would have been driving a high end SUV instead of a 8-10 year old Honda pilot.
An AWFUL that can’t understand normal thinking.
AWFUL has been around for better than a year.
[It’s a totally fitting moniker....]
Yeah, the AWFULs needs to match the Gov’t Black Suburbans.
Not a mother with young children with two fathers now a lesbian out protesting in defiance against federal officers
We have
Female
Intelligent
Natural
Engaged
F.I.N.E. Fine.
(with apologies to Aerosmith who said “FINE” meant F’d up, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional.)
“Far” Right 🙄
For those who are offended by the term AWFUL, I’d like to take it a step further. AWFULs are FUBAR.
Hooligans have been trashing any vehicle that appears to look like an ICE vehicle in hotel parking lots overnight.
“Cis” is meant to be derisive to normal straight people. But, since it’s a leftist made word, it’s OK.....
For someone who is woke, this NYT reporter has been asleep. I’ve seen AWFUL used for about five years.
but they didn’t have an event to make it seem dehumanizing for the users.
Gee.....you’re only about 4-5 years behind the times Old Gray Hag.
Michael Malice came up with that term years ago.
They should install camera systems like Tesla. ANY and ALL vandals should have to face FEDERAL CHARGES.
I just call them ‘grievance junkies’
Is “big boned” derisive?
Looks like Chevy Suburbans have camera systems as well as Chevy trucks since 2025..
It was safer when they were home knitting pink hats but they passed around the clipboard so the gang can get together regularly.
