Falls under the welfare queen category.

agreed.

a note: I was going to include communists, but technically everyone hates communists. I was sticking with conservative-specific boogeymen. ....socialists, maybe? I think I will put socialists as a parenthetical to Europeans; does that make sense?

Naw, SS & Medicare aren’t just for welfare queens.

hmm I was with hal2kilo but you make a point. maybe put it to vote? maybe a parenthetical to welfare queens? It's the same sort of thing, right: "stealing my tax dollars because lazy?"

I guess "gun grabbers" goes under liberals...what are handful of other proper, catchy, pejoratives for liberals? "Nannies?"

Entitlements/SS/Welfare are pretty strong socialist/liberal pillars. Is there a way to lump into there? (I have Welfare Queen as a special minority group, because that is the near universal assumption in the conservative mind), but I do agree that "entitlements" deserve some parenthetical in one of the current categories, maybe?

Femi-Nazi’s?

That was one of my original categories, but thought to just go with women. ...I almost think it needs its own category, though? ...yeah, liberals/socialists. I think you are right. I will toss it in with liberals as feminists, unless there are objections?

I think not all women are "feminists" in the sense that conservatives have defined that term for themselves, and I do believe they are terrified of women for other reasons.

Solar and/or electric cars

Wealthy people in the tech industry

Oh yeah, SV/Tech CEOs!

I think I will find a better category than "EPA" to toss in all the environmental stuff (Solar, electric, Greenpeace...oh snap, just add "Tree Huggers" as a liberal pejorative?) ...I think EPA kinda stands on its own, still. It's an evil socialist government monster that is doing very bad things to noble polluters:Government-sanctioned freedumb killers.

Love the trolling thread tags on troll thread

as further explanation for one of those, and because "the end" of Incorruptible and the new P&N rules meant I could no longer post this as regularly as it needs to be posted, I will dump it here, because it is the only image that comes to my mind when I read many of the posts here in P&N:

Should RINOs be on there? Is that a boogey man? I mean literally anytime a republican doesn't display the most extreme position they are branded as such...

I say RINO!

OMG...


FACTS!!!

Yes, I actually wanted to allow room for "concepts" and "rhetorical methods" and more intangibles like that. For "facts," I consider Journalists as one of their targeted enemies.

But yes RINOs: perfect, for they love to eat their own for not following the descending trail of batshit towards the approaching abyss as quickly as possible. It's astonishing how quickly a true paragon of conservatism can be labeled a RINO. I think Ted Cruz is now a RINO? Little Marco, certainly.

William Crystal has been there for about 2 years now, which is actually quite astonishing. Mitt...long ago. Don't even bother

Reason behind the Solar/Electric car thing is they simply hate the idea its even an option. They’d prefer coal power plants and gas cars.
Don’t misunderstand me, I’d love to have a 78 Smokey & The Bandit type Firebird, it just wouldn’t be my regular car.
