    So /pol/'s leftist counterpart, leftypol, created a wojak based on the right-wing mass El-Paso shooter and it's been spreading like wildfire throughout 4chan. /pol/ cannot handle the meme and keeps trying (and failing) to subvert it, ranging from calling him a registered democrat ( which has been quickly debunked ), to claiming he's not white, to trying pull a NO U, and finally trying to claim him as their mascot. The cope is real.

        They love "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" because it ends in "Rat."

          IIRC it started around the Reagan/rw talk radio era because they wanted to avoid referencing a good word like "democratic" when talking about their enemies.

          It sorta sucks that it got poisoned like that because "democrat" just sounds like the noun version of "democracy supporter"

        I think at this point a lot of them don't even realize that democratic is the proper way to say it because they've only ever seen rw propaganda

        yep you can immediately tell a normal person from a brain-wormed conservative because they never say "democratic" like "the democratic party" no it's always "the democrat party" it's pathological.

        gonna start calling 'em the republic party
