Let's find a better name for "conservatives" who want to watch the world burn.

[mahina]

There’s nothing conservative about giving away our taxes to billionaires. There’s nothing conservative about pretending climate change is a fantasy or if it finally exists then it’s not in any way caused by human actions. It’s not conservative to demolish the social safety net. It’s not conservative to try to deregulate every polluting industry in this country. It’s not conservative to tear down the constitution, it’s not conservative to try and demolish democracy. They are in no way conservative.

Please share your proposals for a better name for this shitty political clot of cowards and greed heads.

Ideally I’d like to get a name that we can start calling them that is succinct and clear and strips them of their cloak of false conservatism. They conserve absolutely nothing. Thanks

1. I used "conservative" frequently here...

... in the past until I received lots of replies suggesting "right-wing" instead.

Fascist might be the better term now.

[mahina]

16. It's got facts on its side.

[Walleye]

2. They like the word conservative because it sounds good to our Calvinist cultural roots. And our

Tightwad cheapskate mentality. Liberal sounds loose and irresponsible. Often coupled with “bleeding heart”

[mahina]

17. Right?

They made liberal a bad word. We pivoted to progressives. Let’s deframe them because they don’t deserve the term. We are the ones who conserve everything good.

[Walleye]

20. Exactly. You would think conservatives would at least be in favor of conservation, but no

I don’t think progressive really works either. It sounds kind of wimpy. I just prefer the term Democrat

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. Assholes?

[SeattleVet]

12. Yeah, that one works fine for me, too.

[mahina]

18. There's that

[Mopar151]

4. Slavers who they are, where they came from.

NT.

[mahina]

19. Certainly true

[roamer65]

5. Terrorists.

[mahina]

21. That works

I am very sorry to say

[Baked Potato]

6. Parasitic Opportunists. Nt

[Crunchy Frog]

7. Extremists? Right wingers? Reactionaries? RWNJs?

I don't like to use the term "conservative" either.

Edit: I like to use the term "fascists".

[joetheman]

8. Evilgelicals.

[joetheman]

9. The "unAmericans"

[mahina]

26. On point.

Mahalo.

[FakeNoose]

10. Libertarians

[mahina]

22. This is helpful!

[Historic NY]

11. Neroites

[mahina]

25. True but needs explaining to many

Let’s keep thinking together. Mahalo!

[gulliver]

13. Columbine conservatives

Murder suicide fantacists and losers. Life tested their so-called principles. Instead of standing for them with grace, they abandoned them out of rage, laziness, desperation, and weakness. They disgraced themselves and handed themselves to the whims of charlatans and lowlife. They are lost.

[mahina]

24. Jesus

You’ve got a good point.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

14. Deplorables ?

They love it and they already think, they are better then, we are anyways.

I personally like Sheeple

[mahina]

23. Oh yea.

[mahina]

15. I'm thinking Trump Cult.

[Hekate]

27. Radical rightist anarchists. If that's too long, just radical rightists.

[marybourg]

28. They used to be radical reactionaries. Now they've become

outright anarchists.

[andym]

29. a combo of "regressive," "minion," "reactionary," "undemocratic," "pro-tyrant," --more

or "rightest stooge"

Here are examples:
He is a regressive, an unthinking, undemocratic follower of the would-be authoritarian Trump. The reactionary rightest would be the first to surrender his freedom (a "freedom-traitor" ) to serve his master and become his minion or stooge.
