    Different people use it differently so nobody knows anymore. Apparently liberal is bad too now? I’ve always thought a liberal was the opposite of a conservative. Now it means … Not sure what it means anymore actually. The left has splintered itself so much recently that nobody is good enough to be left for anyone anymore. If you’re even slightly left or right of their opinion, you’re a “Trump supporter” even if you hate and never agree with Trump. But since you disagreed with my view slightly, you’re a trumper!

    No true Scotsman fallacy is happening and nobody is good enough anymore. Even liberals are evil now I guess?

      Tankies are people who echo the propaganda Russia and China spew. It originates from members of the Communist Party of Great Britain who slavishly followed the Kremlin line, agreeing with the crushing of revolts in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia by Soviet tanks, being called that.
