Tankies are the greatest right-wing propaganda that lefties still fall for both by believing in it and by believing that it’s actually coming from sincere leftists.
Tankie (n): a Fox News Republican with a progressive streak. Core defining features are a love for historical despots and the belief that any source that disagrees with them is “Fake News.”
Centrists read a history book before trying to use historical terms challenge: impossible
As an old opponent of the Iraq War, I remember when “progressive” was reanimated to differ from the Democratic loyalist idiots like Clinton and Biden. And now you centrists have wrapped yourself in it, because you know your agenda has no value.
Yeah, I think the U.S. is going to naturally pull back to the left as a reasonable reaction, but I fear it will still go poorly, because we’re still very stupid people and it will be exploited by bad-faith actors just like everything else. But I hope I’m just overly cynical. I don’t think I am though.
