I know it's not actually a real thing because I'd never seen the phrase more than a month ago and it's getting thrown around as the new insult du jour but what is it supposed to mean?

It's short for "patriotic socialist". The term is a few years old but the people it describes are almost entirely on twitter.
It started from self proclaimed communists saying US communists should not talk about the evils of the US or denigrate its symbols because it would "alienate the proletariat" by which they mean conservative white guys. Said "communists" have since gone on to try to start #MAGAcommunism, spoken against LGBTQ+ rights and women's rights, put their full support into Russia in the war, go on Fox News, and come out as full conservatives, among many other embarrassments.
Ah okay there we go.
