'Cuckservative:' Trump's Code Word Is A Study In Racism, Misogyny

[villager]

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.

2. You mean, if she "got out more," she'd like the word?

[DURHAM D]

3. No.

This: "I’ve been uncharacteristically downplaying the amount of racism and misogyny powering the right today."

5. Ah. I didn't even consider that, since I've known that's what animates them since I was in 3rd grade

But I see what you mean, now.

Still, this new "hah hah" word of theirs puts that racism and misogyny into even sharper relief, for those who'd wish to otherwise avert their eyes...

4. Do recalled someone doing a piece

of satire back in the Seventies,and it was something along these lines. Nixon's Southern Strategy has now been exposed as to what the GOP's real future was to be. Lydon Johnson new what the next couple of decades foretold. The evidence that nailed it was when the secret tapes of his conversation with Evert Derkson and Nixon's secret talks with the North Vietnamese. That told you F-- you America,we are going to do what ever it takes to make this country into our ideals,and if some or any Societal Group can be used to achieve our ends,so be it.

6. That wasn't satire. That was actual America.

Of course, the country has become quite a spoof of itself, in an awful kind of way.

7. And we let Nixon walk away with no strings attached.

No Democrat wanted to pursue the Treason issue or the money laundry of funds to payoff thugs. What price of FREEDOM may we ask. Appears screw you I got mine is the coin of the USA.
